For every Project S.E.R.V.E. team, accessibility starts with listening, not designing. Founded in 2009, the organization pairs veterans and emergency responders with student engineers to tackle challenges that don't yet have solutions. Rather than producing generic, one-size-fits-all devices, each partnership is shaped by the individual who will actually use the final solution.

Project S.E.R.V.E. is pleased to recognize Florida Atlantic University’s Team A.R.C.T.I.C. (Amputee Residual-Limb Comfort and Thermal Insulation Cuff), as the winner of our video competition.

A team of four biomedical engineering seniors from VCU’s College of Engineering earned third place at the 2026 Project S.E.R.V.E. National Design Competition for developing a high-performance residual limb warmer designed for winter para-athletes.

Marine veteran Josh Doyle hasn't been able to pedal a bicycle since an explosion injured his leg when he was deployed to Iraq in 2003. Connecting with a team of San Diego State mechanical engineering seniors at the start of the fall semester changed that.

VMI electrical and computer engineering cadets partnered with Project S.E.R.V.E. to develop a smarter, more accessible workstation system for Army veteran Jeremy Davis.

George Mason University’s Team 4Ward took first place at Project S.E.R.V.E.’s third annual National Design Competition with a residual limb warming device designed for Team USA Paralympic athlete Dan Rizzieri.
