ISE 4380 - Human Factors Engineering
Role of operator as subsystem in human-machine systems. Topics include design principles for workplace environments, such as: manual material handling, energy expenditure, information displays, equipment controls, information processing, vibration, and thermal stress. Lab assignments will emphasize data collection, design, analysis, and presentation.
Requisites: ISE 3200 and 3340
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 2.0 lecture, 2.0 laboratory
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes: - Learn how design work to mitigate adverse environmental factors (vibration, heat and cold stress).
- Students will learn risk associated with manual materials handling and how to design work to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury.
- Understand the basic concepts of ergonomics and how to apply ergonomics to improve the safety, productivity, and job satisfaction of employees or consumers.
- Understand the basic principles of information processing and how it relates to designing work for maximum safety and productivity.
- Understand the basic processes of vision, hearing, touch, and relate human abilities to the design of work systems.
