本課程旨在探討人們在工作時與日常生活中所使用工具、機器、系統、工作方法、設備之設計及身處各種環境時應該考量之人類特徵、限制、預期及行為等要素。亦即，研究人因技術可以有效地應用在產品設計與開發過程中，以改進產品的使用性，使用者與產品的績效，使用者滿意度及產品安全等。

在產業方面，較周詳地考慮了人因工程的產品就比較能夠提高它的附加價值，也增強了它的市場競爭能力；公司提供人性化的工作制度和環境，使員工身心健康得到保障，提升工作效率。

This course aims to explore the human characteristics, restrictions, expectations and behaviors that people should consider when they work and in their daily lives. That is, the research technology can be effectively applied in product design and development process to improve product usability, user and product performance, user satisfaction and product safety, etc.

In terms of industry, more carefully considering the products of human-care engineering can improve their additional value and enhance their market competitiveness; the company provides humanized work systems and environments to ensure the physical and mental health of employees and improve work efficiency.

人因工程是以「人」為中心，了解人的能力與限制，以及人和機器、環境的相互作用及互動，進而讓設計的機器和環境系統適合人的生理及心理等特點，達到在生產及產品使用時提高效率、安全、健康和舒適目的的一門科學。本課程將介紹人的生理及心理能力及限制，以及其應用於工業與消費性產品之原則。課程將透過授課與小組討論等讓學生獲得人因工程相關知識、技術、與方法，進而於應用於產品設計。

Human-cause engineering is a science that focuses on "people", understands human abilities and limitations, as well as the interaction and interaction between people and machines and environments, thus making the designed machines and environment systems suitable for human physiological and psychological characteristics, achieving a science that improves efficiency, safety, health and comfort during production and product use. This course will introduce a person's physiological and psychological abilities and limitations, as well as the principles for their application to industrial and consumer products. The course will allow students to obtain knowledge, technology, and methods related to engineering through teaching and group discussions, and then apply it to product design.
