Description:

This engineering-oriented text is aimed at the introductory course in ergonomics usually required of industrial engineering majors. The text should also be useful in ergonomics courses taught in departments of psychology and should prove useful to professors teaching courses in biomechanics in any department. The book provides a blend of the physical techniques and the cognitive aspects of ergonomics and features many practical cases, examples and instructive illustrations. Each chapter has its own set of essays and exercises.
