69335 People and the Physical Environment

3cp; 2hpw

People have a continuing and dynamic interaction with their physical surroundings, and the processes of this interaction must be understood so that they can be designed for and controlled. The subject deals with both those interactions, which are a part of normal processes, such as noise, vibrations and heat, and those which are random and unplanned events. The first of these can be quantitatively assessed and controlled, whereas the latter requires the application of probability and reliability techniques.
