| Aim: The project course is meant to lead to enhance knowledge in how to implement ergonomics and design in construction and in development work by preparing a project thesis. Methodology is an important part of the development work. The course will give you the possibility to apply Methodology in real industrial projects �?" e.g. Design for usability and added value. |
|||
| Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) TMIA31 Ergonomic Design. The project work presumes knowledge from the courses of the Mechanical Engineering: Mechanics, Applied Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, Electrical engineering, Solid mechanics, Engineering materials, Production engineering and Machine elements. Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding. |
|||
| Organisation: The project work is carried out in groups of 3-4 engineering students. This requires a high level of activity from everyone in the group and the supervisors are available during the course. The course starts during the second Autumn period and will continue the whole Spring. |
|||
| Course contents: The project is inspired by real industrial problems. The project is carried out in cooperation with the company involved and includes different steps in ergonomic product development, from specification of requirements, generating ideas, user support, concept models until the final construction. These steps provide an overall view of the interaction between human, product, design and environment. The project is finished by a written report and oral presentations at the university and at the company involved. |
