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

All aspects were presented at a freshman level and implemented infour two-hour labs. Students learn the concepts as relevant to their design project in each two-hour lab.
