Course detail
Ergonomics
FSI-YERAcad. year: 2017/2018
The course familiarizes students with all aspects of the system man-machine-environment with the aim of implementation into the design, with a special respect to application and safety of the system. Students using new compurter technologies sloves practical tasks in the field of ergonomics tools and machines.
The course has been upgraded with the support of the OPVK project. "The Studio digital sculpture and new media project", reg. No. CZ.1.07/2.2.00/28.0278, is co-financed by the European Social Fund and the statebudget of the Czech Republic.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Knowledges about the human, the working environment, the system of drivers and indicators, about principles of interior design, safety work and the methodical approach to the construction. Acquired knowledge is practised in workshop projects.
Prerequisites
This course has a specific character and it has no link to any similarly oriented course. However a basic overview of human biology, physics /high school level/, statistics and fundamentals of construction /university level/ is assumed.
