Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği

Course Objectives: Students should gain the ability to apply the engineering design process for the purpose of identifying, defining, limiting and solving design issues related to the human factor. In particular, students are expected to align indicators, control systems, workstation and/or office design with environmental factors, regulations and occupational safety standards in a way that enhances human performance and individual and/or social well-being.
Course Content: Basic ergonomic concepts; anatomical and physiological characteristics of the human being that must be taken into account in terms of system design and performance; the information processing process and its relation to the design of indicator and control systems; anthropometry and use of anthropometric data in machine-equipment, equipment, workstation and office design; indicators and controls
