Incorporating Ergonomics Theory and Practice into Industrial Engineering Undergraduate Education

马奎特大学工业工程系正在引进一个本科生人体工程学实验室。通过这项实验培训和在模拟工作环境中进行的肌电测量，工业工程专业的学生可以了解与累积创伤障碍相关的问题。该实验室对工业工程师的教育不仅涉及工人的福祉，还涉及降低职业伤害的成本，如腰痛和累积性创伤障碍，包括常见的腕管综合征。通过人体工程学干预重新设计工作场所的研究减少了这些伤害的发生率，并提高了工业生产率。

An undergraduate ergonomics laboratory is being introduced in the Industrial Engineering department at Marquette University. Through this experimental training and the electromyographic measurements carried out in a simulated work environment, industrial engineering students learn the problems associated with cumulative trauma disorders. The education of industrial engineers in this laboratory addresses not only the well-being of the workers but also the reduction of the costs of occupational injuries, such as low back pain and cumulative trauma disorders, which include the common carpal tunnel syndrome. Study of the redesign of the workplace through ergonomic intervention reduces the incidence of these injuries and enhances industrial productivity.
