cognitive building. Today, the graduates from manywell-known undergraduate engineering and technology programs are trained to concentrate onmachines rather than the human user’s well-being. Thus, one critical component in our teachingof ergonomics is to always bring students to the user, as other courses they have had in the pastmainly emphasize the issues of product functionality and product manufacturability. Theconsequences of missing the human element in engineering and technology education could bethe creation of mad scientists or evil engineers instead of a human-being with a balanced worldview and the ability to respect life.With the human-first idea in mind, the subjects covered in this module included both physical andcognitive ergonomics

Further definitions of mental imagery are: “the mentalinvention or recreation of an experience that at least in some respects resembles the experienceof actually perceiving an object…” [9 as cited in 8] and “a cognitive process that makes thefigural aspects of previously seen objects…temporarily available to the mind.” [10 as cited in 4].Furthermore, mental imagery is an active process in problem solving [8]. Hence mental imageryis engaged for both blind and sighted people when interpreting engineering graphics.Mental imagery is cognitively part of visuospatial working memory, used for reasoning [11], andnot merely an

In this paper, we discuss our collaborativepractice to integrate these two tendency directions and inspire creativity in the practice.

Teaching techniques should challenge, educate and promoteinnovative thinking from students. The lecture-based format of teaching which typicallypredominates in engineering education may not be the most effective manner to achieve thesegoals1,2.
