Objective: The objective of this course it to provide basic ergonomics knowledge to prospective candidates interested in
ship design or operation, as well as to train them to be effective in the multi-disciplinary environments that increasinglywill be the norm in the maritime industry. This course will bring benefit to maritime safety and efficiency by improving the
usability of ships and shipboard systems, it will improve the protection of the environment through risk reduction, and it
will improve European competitiveness in maritime operations by increased effectiveness and usability.
or maritime professionals are being trained, as well as students and professionals from the maritime and ocean
engineering sector.
