De student kan:

1. make a Problem Analysis of a given assignment in the field of a human in control of a technical device, e.g. a surgical tool, a vehicle, a prosthesis or a chemical or nuclear plant

-identify the dynamic relationships between the human and the device in terms of sensor input and actuation

-describe and explain the properties of the human controller in the system under 1a, with reference to the performance and stability limitations of the feedback loop

-translate the result of 1a and 1b into technical Design Objectives of the controlled system without reference to any solutions

-derive qualitative and quantitative Design Specifications from the Design Objectives of the controlled system, and categorize and prioritize these.

-assess feedback on the Design Specification from Assignor

2. understand the physical limitations and official load regulations of the human musculoskeletal system and its sensors

-identify the relevant dynamic characteristics of human sensor systems (auditory, tactile, visual, vestibulary systems), muscles and the central nervous system

-indicate the mechanical, physiological and mental load and sustainable load of the human being, while at work and/or in a human control situation (direct control or supervisory control)

-select appropriate models and measurement methods for the load mentioned in 2b

-generate a variety of Conceptual Designs to decrease the mechanical, physiological and mental load

-judiciously select the most appropriate Conceptual Design

-demonstrate the plausibility or feasibility of the Conceptual Design, with special emphasis to the worker’s benefits
