ISE 352 – Fundamentals of Human-Machine Systems Design Spring 2020 Tues. & Thur.; 1:30-2:45p, Daniels Hall, Room 371

Instructor: Xu Xu DAN484 [email protected] Office hours: M/W 10-11:15a

TA: Jiali Huang DAN418 [email protected] Tu/Th 3-4p

Course Description: Introduction to work methods and ergonomics. Coverage of methods to improve operator performance and production process efficiency. Techniques include project evaluation and review, operator-machine ratios, line balancing, work sampling, time study, and predetermined time systems. Ergonomics component includes job screening methods, anthropometry, workstation and hand-tool design, methods for reducing hazard exposure and controlling cumulative trauma disorders, and biomechanical analysis. Prerequisites: C- or better in ST 371; C or better in ISE 135 Learning Objectives: By the end of this course, you should expect to be able to: 1. analyze workplace conditions and task practices for factors that hinder productivity; 2. improve productivity through work methods design, workstation design, and work environment design; 3. develop and apply time standards; 4. analyze jobs for ergonomics-related risks; 5. analyze human operator anthropometry and muscle physiology for physical work task design; 6. apply principles of ergonomic workstation and hand-tool design; 7. identify cumulative trauma disorders; 8. develop basic biomechanical models of physical work tasks; and 9. apply the NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health) lifting equation for promoting safety in manual material handling tasks. Course Policies: The use of computers is permitted in class for the purpose of studying course materials or performing in class exercises. The use of cell phones during class is not permitted. You can eat light snacks and drink during the class, but messy, noisy, and strong-smelling foods are not permitted.

Required Reading: Freivalds, A. (2014). Methods, Standards, & Work Design (13th Edn.). McGraw-Hill. Assignments: Quizzes There will be four (4) quizzes during the course. Each quiz will only cover the material from the last quiz. Each quiz will be worth 15 points. (see Grade Distribution section). Homework You will be required to complete three (3) homework assignments as part of the course. Each homework assignments will be worth 50 points. Exams There will be two term exams and one final exam as part of the course. The term exams will be worth 100 points each. The term exam will cover material from the previous exam. The final exam will be worth 150 points and will cover material throughout the course. There will be no make-ups for missed exams unless the reason for absence is mentioned in https://policies.ncsu.edu/regulation/reg-02-2003-attendance-regulations/ In-class Labs Labs are intended to provide you with hands-on experience in exercising various work analysis and ergonomics design methods covered in lectures. The lab schedule includes four (4) graded lab assignments. Each lab report prepared by your team will be worth 25 pts. There will be no make-ups for missed lab exercises. The grade of a missed lab report will be substituted by the average of your available lab reports. Please go to the following link before Jan. 20 to sign up your lab team: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bFxVdc3J6EXdgHbmAq_JRigVcLYRsMaxeb4 cjFqqV3g/edit?usp=sharing Quizzes and exams are closed-book and closed-notes. An equation sheet will be provided during the quizzes /exams. Please make sure you bring a scientific calculator. Grade Distribution and Scale: Grades will be based on your performance on the course homework, quizzes, exams and lab exercises. Each assignment will account for a portion of your final grade (see below). Grades will be calculated by adding the points you earn on each assignment and dividing by the total achievable points. Grades will be assigned based on a standard scale, including “+” and “-”. An average between 97.5-100% will be assigned a grade of "A+", an average between 92.5% and 97.4% will be assigned a grade of “A”, an average of 89.5-92.4% will be assigned an “A-“, an average between 87.5-89.4% will be assigned a “B+”, etc.

Below is a summary of the assignments, their point values and the percentage of your grade they account for. Item Contribution to grade Quizzes (4 @ 15 pts.) Homework (3 @ 50 pts.) Terms exams (2 @ 100 pts.) Final Exam (@ 150 pts.) Lab reports (4 @ 25 pts.) Class participation (40 pts.)

~9% of grade ~21% ~29% ~21% ~14% ~6%

Total for semester (700 pts.)

100% of grade

Late Assignments: All assignments are due in class on dates identified in the lecture and lab schedules, or as indicated by an instructor in class. Assignments submitted late and by the next class period will receive a 10% deduction. An additional 10% deduction will occur with each late class period. Attendance Policy: All students are expected to attend class. You should note that material not directly from the book may be presented in class. Absence from class may limit your maximum possible grade. For complete attendance and excused absence policies, please see http://policies.ncsu.edu/regulation/reg-02-20-03.
