No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1977–78 to 1977–78 (before that, 1971–72 to 1973–74 used the number for Human Systems Engineering 2 and Human Systems Engineering); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The structure and function of man in relation to the design of man-machine systems with specific emphasis on human physiology and bioengineering. The cell as a micro-system and man as a complex of systems and sub-systems.
As printed in the 1977–78 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
