Ergonomics (a measure of efficiency) and anthropometrics (the measure of human scale) play a fundamental role in industrial design. The capabilities and scale of the human in the workplace, home, etc., and the interface tools and their users are complex issues that designers need to understand if they are to succeed. This subject introduces the various measures of both efficiency and scale, and informs students of where to find, and more importantly, how to set about interpreting scientific data relating to the topic.
