Intended Learning Outcomes: Having completed this module you will be able to:

 

• Understand the role and application of E/HF principles in optimising system performance and wellbeing across all ages and capabilities (1.1)
• Demonstrate ability to enhance health, safety, comfort, quality of life, attitudes, motivation, usability, effectiveness and efficiency (1.2).
• Demonstrate use of E/HF theories, methods and tools for analysis of systems (including process), tasks, workload (physical and mental) including mental models, communication and anthropometry (2.1a).
• Understand the influence of such factors as a person’s body size, skill, cognitive abilities, age, sensory capacity, general health and experience (2.2a).
• Demonstrate a working knowledge of anatomy, functional anatomy, anthropometry, physiology, pathophysiology, and environmental sciences as they apply to E/HF practice (3.1a).
• Apply knowledge of biomechanics, anthropometry, motor control, energy, forces applied as they relate to stresses and strains produced in the human body (3.1b).
• Understand the effects of the environment (including acoustic, thermal, visual, vibration) and individual sensory response (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell) on human health and performance (3.1c).
