- Overview
This website was recently revised to provide up-to-date information on the mission of the Ergonomics Lab, specific research directions and coursework supported by Lab faculty. The "Lab Tour" page presents images and descriptions of the various equipment resources as part of the Lab. You will also find pictures of our current facilities in the Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering at NC State. The "People" page identifies all the faculty, students and alumni responsible for the research generated by the Lab. If you have questions regarding specific projects or publications, contact information is provided for most persons. The "Research" page provides information on all current externally and internally supported projects as well as completed funded projects. Links are provided for publications resulting from the projects. The "Publications" page presents a comprehensive listing of journal articles and refereed conference proceedings papers published by the Lab since the early 1990s. PDF files of many of these papers are available through the site. The "Courses" page lists all the coursework that is currently offered by faculty working through the Ergonomics Lab. The major areas of coursework include biomechanics, human factors and safety. The page also provides information on prerequisites and course content. The "Links" page provides URLs for other related NC State websites and external sites. These are organized into labs and technical organizations. Finally, the site provides contact and location information for the lab. We hope that you enjoy visiting our lab website and that you find the information useful. Please contact Simon Hsiang (smhsiang@ncsu.edu) or David Kaber (dbkaber@ncsu.edu), co-directors of the Ergonomics Lab, if you have any questions or comments.
