Students should acquire specific practical skills that include an integrated ergonomic approach for the design of a comprehensive solution to different problems. The aim of this course is the acquisition of basic academic knowledge in the field of ergonomic design, which can be used for design of different products, as well as for redesigning and improvement on the system man - machine.
Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: • Identify the different types of errors in the man - machine system and to apply adequate solutions aimed at eliminating of errors • Design the indicators based on the application of ergonomic recommendations • Design the controls based on the application of ergonomic recommendations • Apply the ergonomic principles and recommendations on the design of the working environment and to conduct an assessment of the working conditions based on the application of experimental procedures • Recognize the benefits and learn about the possibilities of applying software intended for computer-aided ergonomic design • Apply the anthropometry in designing various products and transportation systems • Perform ergonomic assessment of an interface • Understand and recognize the ergonomic characteristics of the quality of products • Identify the factors that affect the comfort and safety of a vehicle from the ergonomic aspect
Introduction to ergonomic design. Management of errors in the man - machine system. Design of indicators.Design of controls.Application of anthropometry in ergonomic designing.Ergonomic product design and evaluation of interface. Comfort and safety of vehicles.
