Conceção Ergonómica de Sistemas

This course aims to teach students methodologies focused on improving Human- System compatibility. Considering human capabilities and limitations, work systems must be designed to reduce operator error, stress, and fatigue and improve ease of use, effectiveness, and productivity.

At the end of this course, the student will have acquired knowledge, skills and capacities to:

- identify synergies between ergonomics and other domains of Industrial Engineering

- prevent human error

- prevent occupational stress

- design interactive interfaces

- evaluate the usability of a system or digital interface

- produce work system models, identify human interaction problems with the work system, and explore the design of solutions in a virtual environment using digital tools.
