Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The course examines the definition of human physical competences, boundaries, differences and measures.
Transferring the differences between people to the product design process,
Products can be considered as a human-machine system and analyzed,
It aims to design products by taking into consideration the natural boundaries and capabilities of people.

Course Content:

System concept and system types; Human dimensions, concept of anthropometry and applications in design. Biomechanical abilities, physical business ergonomics. Basic principles in designing hand tools. Foot and walking-running dynamics and ergonomics. Physical environmental conditions, Design for exceptional users; Information concept and processing of information. Controls and indicators. Concept of interface and arrangement of product interfaces; Human computer interaction.
