Aims
The aim of the subject is to acquire the knowledge needed for the design and modernization of industrial products and work environment.
Graduates will be able an anthropocentric approach to design, to the systemic solution of the relationship man-machine-environment. Graduates will be able to formulate requirements for the relationship of a person to any product, to respect its dimensions, psychophysiological possibilities and limits in relation to the performed activity whether of occupational or non-working nature.
The student acquires:
- Knowledges about the human and about the optimization of psychophysical load.
- Knowledge of the specifics of the working environment.
- The ability to design the system of drivers and indicators.
- The ability of apply the principles of interior design.
- Knowledge of safety work.
- Respecting the methodical approach to the construction.
