Entry requirements

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Intended learning outcomes

After passing the course the student should have knowledge about the dynamics between people, technology and organizations from an engineering perspective. The student should be able to:

describe different theoretical models concerning the dynamics between people, technology, organizations from an industrial perspective
describe different theoretical models for physical environment and social and organisational aspects
analyse a workplace from a human, technological and organisational perspective
suggest methods for a workplace investigation

Course content

Socio-technology, systems theory, dynamic models
Planned change, Work environment and economy
Individual, group and organization from an industrial perspective
Labor market and laws and regulations
Competence and learning. Gender
Physical work environment factors; light/noise, physical workload, chemical hazards.
Perception and Cognition
Safety and risk
Quality from a systems perspective Qualitative and quantitative methods

Teaching and working methods

The course consists of lectures, lessons/supervision and extensive independent group work. The lessons deal with the theoretical areas. The lessons deal with applications of the theoretical areas, including measuring physical factors as well as supervision of the independent work. The independent group work consists of two parts and includes an analysis of workplace from a human, technological and organisational perspective. The work is presented orally and written in a report. Opposition of another group's work is included. The course is given in Linköping in vt2 and Norrköping ht1.
