Course content
|
The aim of the course is to introduce the student to the ergonomic principles necessary for design work. In this semester the student is introduced to the issues of the working environment and its optimal parameters. The student will gain knowledge of ergonomic principles necessary to master the design of hand tools, various appliances, controls and machines with emphasis on their trouble-free operation. During the semester, the student will develop an ergonomic study of a selected product.
