SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives: The student who takes this course establishes the objective and operational relationship between the physical environment and human. Analyzes how the static and dynamic user will come into contact with the space and the object. It analyzes the full-empty bond in the space in a healthy way. Dimensions the human-space relationship in the context of functional requirements.
Course Content: The content of this course includes the meaning, importance and scope of ergonomics, the concept of anthropometry, basic Static Anthropometry and object-human relations, Dynamic Anthropometry and action-environment relations, living spaces in dwelling; kitchen and bathroom ergonomics, living and drinking areas ergonomics, spatial connections, ergonomics of attachments and jewelry, ergonomics of office and restaurant spaces, universal design principles and cognitive ergonomics.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs)

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) are those describing the knowledge, skills and competencies that students are expected to achieve upon successful completion of the course. In this context, Course Learning Outcomes defined for this course unit are as follows:
Knowledge (Described as Theoritical and/or Factual Knowledge.)
  1) Defines the objective bases of the space-human-action relationship.
  2) Explain the nature of spatial interventions in the context of measure-dimension-form.
Skills (Describe as Cognitive and/or Practical Skills.)
  1) Designs and implements the full-empty balance of space.
  2) Analyzes and constructs the body-space connection.
  3) Examines, interprets and applies the body-object theme.
Competences (Described as "Ability of the learner to apply knowledge and skills autonomously with responsibility", "Learning to learn"," Communication and social" and "Field specific" competences.)
  1) Establishes a connection between theory and practice.
  2) Designs spaces and objects compatible with anthropometric values.
