| SCOPE | |||||||||
| Virtually every activity in which humans engage involves interacting with our environment, often in a physical manner. This course will teach cadets the fundamentals of anthropometrics and biomechanics so they can plan for and design for the physiological capabilities and limitations of humans. Anthropometrics is the study of human measurement. Biomechanics is the study of forces on our muscular and skeletal system. Using these disciplines, cadets will conduct bodily and workspace analyses to improve the environments, equipment, and systems with which humans interact. The course will emphasize work performed in military settings. | |||||||||

| SCOPE | |||||||||
| Virtually every activity in which humans engage involves interacting with our environment. Much of that interaction requires physical movement. Creating a safe workplace requires an understanding of the forces we apply to objects in our environment and how those forces can be measured and modified by better design. Anthropometrics is the study of human measurement. Biometrics is the study of forces on our muscular and skeletal system. The goal of this course is to teach cadets the fundamentals of anthropometrics and biomechanics so that they will be able to modify work environments of injury. The course will emphasize work performed in military settings. | |||||||||
