The study of ergonomics will result in reductions of injury and increases in productivity by improving the "fit" between the worker and the work environment. This is achieved by matching the physiological and psychological capabilities of a person to the design of the equipment, tasks to be performed and the total workplace environment. This course will introduce the student to the need for ergonomics, methods for problem identification, solution development and effectiveness evaluation of implemented changes.
Class schedule is expected to be released in October.
