The exhibit displays student work for an Ergonomic Analysis exercise from 

DEA/PSYCH/COG SCI 1500: Introduction to Environmental Psychology taught by Prof. Gary Evans.  This exercise asks students to conduct an ergonomic analysis of their surroundings, identify a problem and propose a solution to the observed problem.

Problem
Students identify an ergonomic problem and analyze what the likely causes of this poor interface are, based on human factors concepts learned in class. For their analysis, students also discuss a salient social identity (e.g., gender, culture) that might moderate the ergonomic challenge.

Solution
Based on the problem analysis, students re-design the human-environment interface to improve the technology, product, or designed environment. They further analyze how the re-designed technology, product, or environment changes the human factors concept described in the problem analysis.
