This unit introduces students to:
By undertaking an integrated ergonomic design project, the aims of the unit are to enable students to:
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to:
Classes will involve lectures, computer-based class tutorials and presentations. Students will be expected to complete some tutorial activities and review lecture material outside of class. The unit comprises of 8 x lectures, 30 hours of supervised computer-based classes (15 x 2hr sessions), 4 x hours of presentation assessment and around 50 hours of study/activities out of class.
Formative assessment:
a) CAD tutorial activities and tasks reviewed in class (ILO 1&2)
b) Supervised coursework sessions in class and logbook (ILO 3)
Summative assessment:
ILO 1 -'3: 2 x coursework assignments (35% each), each consisting of a 5-page (maximum) design report including text, diagrams and calculations; and a short Powerpoint presentation and poster (30%) reflecting the learning outcomes and content of the unit as a whole. The unit is 100% coursework with no exam-based assessment.
