Virtually every activity in which humans engage involves interacting with our environment, often in a physical manner. This course will teach cadets the fundamentals of anthropometrics and biomechanics so they can plan for and design for the physiological capabilities and limitations of humans. Anthropometrics is the study of human measurement. Biomechanics is the study of forces on our muscular and skeletal system. Using these disciplines, cadets will conduct bodily and workspace analyses to improve the environments, equipment, and systems with which humans interact. The course will emphasize work performed in military settings.
