  • ObjectivosObjectives
    The objectives of the curricular unit are: O1. Identify basic concepts of ergonomics. O2. Describe the evolution of the discipline and its current outlook. O3. Distinguish ergonomic approaches Francophone and Anglo-Saxon. O4. Distinguish prescribed work of actual work, the task of designing and implementing activities. O5. Define the main lines of application of ergonomics. O6. To characterize the ergonomic intervention in processing the work itself, through an inductive analysis of bottom-up. O7. Undertake an ergonomic analysis of human error. O8. To characterize the ergonomic intervention methodology, identifying the role of representations in and for action. O9. Clearly distinguish the concepts of ergonomics and how to apply them and deepen them in their practical work.
