Salve - Level: Graduate - Language: English - Subjects: Engineering, Art, architecture and design - Source: [NPTEL](https://nptel.ac.in/courses/107103093) - Licence: [CC BY-NC-SA](https://nptel.ac.in/faq) (Non-commercial use only.) - Syllabus: [at the source](https://nptel.ac.in/courses/107103093) - Who can watch: Tweens profiles and older (sources give no ratings; placed by Invisible Network from the source's own words) This course will help the students to understand the critical issues faced during any field data collection, data analysis and interpretation. It will give an understanding about building the phases of ergonomics research through practical exposure. Also in this course, few case studies will be discussed which will help the students to understand “basic steps to be followed” for ergonomics research. Instrument handling, human data collection which is inevitable part of ergonomics research will be taught in this course thoroughly. Intended audience: MSc., MDes, PhD, Industrialists Prerequisites: Should complete bachelor degree. ## Lectures 1.
