    Dan Immergluck's FORECLOSED
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-10-28) Immergluck, Daniel W.
    Over the last two years, the United States has observed, with some horror, the explosion and collapse of entire segments of the housing market, especially those driven by subprime and alternative or "exotic" home mortgage lending. The unfortunately timely Foreclosed explains the rise of high-risk lending and why these newer types of loans—and their associated regulatory infrastructure—failed in substantial ways. Dan Immergluck narrates the boom in subprime and exotic loans, recounting how financial innovations and deregulation facilitated excessive risk-taking, and how these loans have harmed different populations and communities. Immergluck, who has been working, researching, and writing on issues tied to housing finance and neighborhood change for almost twenty years, has an intimate knowledge of the promotion of homeownership and the history of mortgages in the United States. The changes to the mortgage market over the past fifteen years—including the securitization of mortgages and the failure of regulators to maintain control over a much riskier array of mortgage products—led, he finds, inexorably to the current crisis.

    Independently Operated Footrests: Redesigns
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009) Atwood, Jason
    Redesign statement. The Track Slide and Spring-Loaded designs presented several limitations in range of motion and robustness, respectively. As such, a redesign was conducted by Jason Atwood, research technician at CATEA, Georgia Tech. The original motions are retained and accomplished through mostly upgraded hardware.

    Hands-on Braking for Manual Wheelchairs
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009) Jowers, Jonathan
    Slowing down and maintaining control of a wheelchair can be difficult for some users, especially those with poor hand strength and/or sensation. Ramps and slopes present a significant barrier to independent and safe mobility. Collisions, falls and/or tips are consistent with running into an object at too high of speed. A need exists for a braking system for manual wheelchair users that allows them to use their hands more effectively and efficiently while braking.

    Independently Operated Footrests: Design Concepts
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009) Holland, Kimberly ; Han, Randy ; Wells, Taylor ; Bell, Katherine
    Mid-drive power wheel chairs (PWC) have become more popular in recent years. However, due to the placement of the front casters, the traditional side-mounted footrests have been replaced by a single center-mounted footrest. Unfortunately, center-mounted footrests do not have a lift/lower mechanism that is easily operable by certain PWC users who transfer independently. Many PWC users have limited trunk strength, limited range of motion, decreased sensitivity in their lower body, and lack of fine motor function. This causes difficulty reaching the footrest to raise it. There is a need for a design solution that allows PWC users to independently lift and lower the footrest.

    Friendship Village Final Studio Presentation
    (Georgia Institute of Technology, 2008-12-03) Anderson, Claudius ; Arkin, Chelsea ; Blaiklock, Philip ; Branum, Cassie ; Caimbeul, David ; Drake, Thomas ; Collums, Joe ; Conville, Lane ; Dagenhart, Richard ; Doyle, Jessica ; Drake, Thomas ; Duong, Binh ; Leigh, Nancey Greene ; Kovacheva, Maria ; Lawrence, Nathan ; Finkelstein, Aria Ritz ; Skach, John ; Tucker, Tasheika
    The Friendship Village group had the charge of advising a large-scale land developer on directions for promoting sustainability in the plans for a 210 acre multi-use project in south Fulton County, Georgia. Their work included site design recommendations modeled after traditional town centers in ten case studies but also included innovative open space and stormwater management proposals and ideas about educational and health care facilities. The diverse professional audience expressed admiration and the developer’s lead representative indicated that results exceeded her expectations.
