The human-technique interaction: an ergonomic approach

Pre-requisites: Not specified

Course objectives: The aim of this course is to expand and establish understanding of the most relevant concepts from the field of human factor and ergonomics, and to carry out a research that could have theoretical and applied contribution. Also, students should be able to confidently apply ergonomic principles to the specific design problems in order to improve user experience and well-being at work.

Course description: Mastering current human factor and ergonomics approaches. Applying theories, principles, methods and results of research from various fields of human factor and ergonomics on research, design and optimization, efficiency and security of man-machine systems and understanding of dysfunctionality, unconformity and human error.

Learning Outcomes: On completion of this course, students should be able to apply theoretical and empirical knowledge, based on current human-technique interaction approaches, in order to create and carry out an applied research.
