Integrating Industrial Projects in Ergonomics Courses

摘要

Ergonomics is a design oriented discipline. Therefore it becomes necessary for the students in any ergonomics course to experience design work as a part of the academic work. It is suggested that this design experience be a real world project derived from an industry rather than a "class-room" exercise. This paper addresses the important aspects of developing the industrial projects and successfully incorporating them in the academic work so that the students derive the full benefit from such experiences.
