This course provides students with general information about ergonomics as an nterdisciplinary field, about the human, the system of drivers and indicators, about principles of interior design, safety work and the methodical approach to the construction. Acquired knowledge is practised in workshop projects.

This course has a specific character and it has no link to any similarly oriented course. However a basic overview of human biology, physics /high school level/, statistics and fundamentals of construction /university level/ is assumed.

Not applicable.

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by creative work in ateliers.

Course-unit credit requirements: attendance at exercises, handing over assigned corrected projects one day before the examination at the latest. Projects topics and deadlines will be specified during the course. The exam is held at the end of the semester and it verifies theoretical knowledge acquired in lectures. The form of exam: written test /or verbal exam/. The student will be able to aquire up to 40 points for projects and tasks, and a further 60 points for the examination. The examination contains a computer test with tasks and answers to choose from. Resulting evaluation will sum up the classifications from the lessons (max 40 points) and the examination (max 60 points). Resulting classification will be defined by the ECTS scale. If some of the projects are awarded less than half of the maximum pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". According to the article No. 13 of Study and Examination Rules of Brno University of Technology ECTS evaluation degree scale is used. . If some of the projects are awarded less than 50 pts., final evaluation of the course is "failed". The course is evaluated with the following grades: ECTS EVALUATION DEGREES / PTS. RATING / NUMERIC RATING: A / 100 - 90 / 1 / Excellent; B /89 - 80 / 1,5 / Very good; C / 79 - 70 / 2 / Good; D / 69 - 60 / Satisfactory; E / 59 - 50 / Sufficient; F / 49 - 0 / 4 / Failed.

The ergonomy course offers the students theoretical information on this interdisciplinary scientific field of knowledge, on human, systems of controllers, basics of interior design as well as on safety. By using new compurter technologies use the students their knowledge on modeling situations concerning using and manipulating tools and machines. The goal of this course is gaining knowledge enabling creative work in the field of industrial design as well as knowledge needed for designing and modernizing industrial products and working space. The task of this course is teaching the students to use the anthropocentric approach in designers work.

The attendance in exercises is controlled. The attendance in lectures is not controlled but it is recommended. Missed exercises are compensated according to the agreement with a lecturer (e.g. a compensatory project is assigned).
