. Practical skills that help foster the understanding of conceptualknowledge. It allows for them to gain crucial skills in diagnosing problems on a conceptual andinstrumental level.3 Numerous studies have been conducted over the years on the significance of emphasizingpractical skills in the classroom/laboratory. Students are either placed in one of two categories:active or passive. For the students who are considered active, their dependency on engagement inexperimentation in the course laboratory is critical to their understanding of fundamentalconcepts.1 This imbalance, or gap, in the teaching education leads to several unprepared engineersmoving into the workplace without sufficient skills required to contribute right away

The students were challenged with five different assignments coveringdifferent sections of ergonomics, work design and safety. In addition, each student needsto submit a term paper or case study focusing on any specific application area ofergonomics towards the end of the semester. For each assignment, the students wereasked to study and investigate the ergonomic issues from their daily life accessories,classrooms and laboratories and offer possible solutions for the non-ergonomic designsand issues. For each assignment, the students need to prepare a report including the imageand brief description of the non-ergonomic design
