Vefa High School Students Experience Ergonomics: Human-Centered Engineering Introduced Through Ergonomics Course Workshop
Vefa High School students got to know the human-centered aspect of Industrial Engineering by experiencing the human-machine-environment interaction practically through the "Ergonomics Course Workshop."
The "Ergonomics Course Workshop" was held for Vefa High School students on May 5, 2026, by the Department of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Istanbul Gelişim University. The workshop was organized to enable students to get to know the concept of ergonomics practically and to experience the human-centered working areas of Industrial Engineering.
Within the scope of the event, students had the opportunity to closely examine ergonomics applications based on human-machine-environment interaction. Topics such as the design of work environments, human performance, safety, efficiency, and user comfort were addressed through practical examples and an interactive course structure.
Through the Ergonomics Course Workshop, students observed that ergonomics is not only a field that improves physical working conditions, but also an important engineering approach that directly affects human health, safety, performance, and work efficiency. By experiencing different applications during the course, students gained a more concrete understanding of the importance of human-centered system design.
The workshop helped students see that Industrial Engineering is a broad discipline that considers human factors as much as quality, efficiency, and system design. Istanbul Gelişim University's Department of Industrial Engineering continues to support young people's interest in engineering fields through practical and awareness-raising activities for high school students.
