Drawing of hand holding electrical plug This study will analyze the effect of outlet height on ease of use among people who use wheelchairs, aged 18-75.  Participants will receive $100 for participating in the 1-hour study at NC State’s facility. The study aims to improve understanding of optimal wall outlet height in hopes of informing building code.  Most previous studies have been conducted using college students (most frequently young healthy males). By including wheelchair users, we wish to gain more representative sample of the population.]]> http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2011/05/23/wheelchair_study/feed/ 0 Expanded article archive released http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2011/05/13/expanded-article-archive-released/ http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2011/05/13/expanded-article-archive-released/#comments Fri, 13 May 2011 19:25:19 +0000 srvalenz http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/?p=725 http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2011/05/13/expanded-article-archive-released/feed/ 0 New “Principles of Universal Design” Posters available http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2011/05/09/newprinciplesposters/ http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2011/05/09/newprinciplesposters/#comments Mon, 09 May 2011 20:46:53 +0000 srvalenz http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/?p=653 http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2011/05/09/newprinciplesposters/feed/ 0 Outstanding presentation by Liu at HFES http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2010/10/13/outstanding-presentation-by-liu-at-hfes/ http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2010/10/13/outstanding-presentation-by-liu-at-hfes/#comments Wed, 13 Oct 2010 12:48:43 +0000 Sharon Joines http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/?p=432 http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2010/10/13/outstanding-presentation-by-liu-at-hfes/feed/ 0 Dwelling on UD http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2010/09/17/dwelling-on-ud/ http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2010/09/17/dwelling-on-ud/#comments Fri, 17 Sep 2010 21:35:59 +0000 Sharon Joines http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/?p=355 http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2010/09/17/dwelling-on-ud/feed/ 0 CUD makes donation to Design Library http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2010/09/17/cud-makes-donation-to-design-library/ http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2010/09/17/cud-makes-donation-to-design-library/#comments Fri, 17 Sep 2010 21:29:58 +0000 Sharon Joines http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/?p=350 http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2010/09/17/cud-makes-donation-to-design-library/feed/ 0 The CUD connects with UofM http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2010/08/30/hello-world/ http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2010/08/30/hello-world/#comments Mon, 30 Aug 2010 12:39:03 +0000 Angela Brockelsby http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/?p=1 http://www.ncsu.edu/project/design-projects/udi/2010/08/30/hello-world/feed/ 0
