Major equipments

Martin type ruler, sit-height scale, electrical goniometers, weight & height scale, ventilation meter, thermometer, reaction time tester, vision tester, hearing threshold tester, sound meter, noise dose meter, WBGT thermometer, bio-signal recording system, motion analysis system, force plate system, Jack & Human CAD simulation system, EMG, EKG, EEG & force measuring system, treadmill, cyclometer, etc.

Focus This laboratory provides adequate space and equipment for conducting ergonomics related experiments.  Students are trained to perform data acquisition and analyses.  Experimental results are also tested by statistical analyses to verify fundamental theory of human factors.

Experiments cover measurements of anthropometry data, bio-signal, muscle forces, reaction time, environmental noise and lighting, and tests of human vision, hearing, tactile threshold, and coordination, and evaluation of man-machine interface, hand tool and workstation design.
