Course objectives
The aim of this course is to apply the knowledge of anatomy in the field of ergonomic environments, to know the specific home adjustment based on anthropometry measurements, and to compare differences in laws regarding ergonomics in different countries. It is a COIL curse (Collaborative Online International Learning) in association with University of A Coruña, Spain. COIL curse provides an international learning experience without the need of mobility.
Learning outcomes
After completing this course, the student will be able:
1. to describe the anatomical concerns in the process of design and selecting ergonomic products
2. to interpret the anthropometric tables and carry out anthropometric measurements
3. to analyse the level of accessibility of their common spaces (home, faculty,…)
4. to work in an intercultural group in an online environment
