Course detail
Ergonomics - summer
FaVU-ERG-LAcad. year: 2018/2019
Ergonomics is a scientific multi-disciplinary application discipline investigating a person during a working process by using systemic approach. A systemic analysis and the synthesis of factors of the investigated subject will be carried out. The biggest emphasis will be put on the human factor - i. e. on a human person as a realizer and user of all cultural aterfacts. Therefore in the second part of the course the theoretic and practical anthropological standardization will be carried out (in other words: human person is a measure for all things).
