Overview of ergonomics and design relevances; Man- the prime system component; Manmachine-environment
interaction system and user-friendly design practice; Human
compatibility, comfort and adaptability; Fundamentals of ergonomics:Physical
(anthropometrics, human body- structure and function, posture, movement and
biomechanics),Physiological (work physiology) and Psychological aspects (behavior,
cognitive aspects and mental workload); Information processing, human error and risk
perception;Visual performance and visual displays; environmental factors influencing
human performance; Occupational stress; safety and health issues;Ergonomics
criteria/check while designing; Design process involving ergonomics check and ergonomic
design evaluation and Participatory ergonomics aspects.
