一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription) 
<br>Ergonomics/human factors is the scientific discipline studying interaction 
<br>between humans and other elements of a system. This fundamental class will cover 
<br>the general principles of human factors/ergonomics. Students will learn how to 
<br>apply human factors/ergonomics concepts and methods to improve work safety, 
<br>performance, product design, as well as overall system efficiency.
