Module-4
Introduction to Ergonomics: Human factors and ergonomics, psychology, engineering, bio mechanics, industrial design, graphics design, statistics, operation research and anthropometry Morphology of design and its relationship with cognitive abilities of human being. Physical Ergonomics: human anatomy, and some of the anthropometric, physiological and bio mechanical characteristics as they relate to physical activity. Cognitive: mental processes, such as perception, memory, reasoning, and motor response, mental workload, and decision-making. Organizational ergonomics: optimization of socio-technical systems, including their organizational structures, policies, processes. Communication, work design, design of working times, teamwork, cooperative work, and new work programs. Environmental ergonomics: human interaction with the environment- characterized by climate, temperature, pressure, vibration, light.
Module-5
Man-Machine Interaction; Man-Machine interaction cycle, Man-machine interfaces, Displays : factors that control choice of display, visual displays qualitative displays; moving pointer displays, moving scale displays, digital displays Indicators, auditory displays, tactile displays. Factors affecting effectiveness of displays. Quantitative displays, check- reading displays, representational displays. Types of controls and their integration with displays. Design guidelines for displays and controls: viewing distance, Illumination, angle of view, reach etc., general design checklist for displays and controls. Standards for ergonomics in engineering and design, displays and controls.
