No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1991–92 to 1994–95 (before that, 1972–73 to 1973–74 used the number for Problems of Man in the Operational Environment (formerly SD343) and Human Engineering and Rational Design Daa); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Ergonomics applications in industrial environments. Human performance and fatigue in industrial accident prevention. Human systems reliability in the industrial workplace. Human-machine function and human stress, adaptation and reliability. Industrial workstation design. Case studies of industrial ergonomics problems. Ergonomics in industrial systems design.
As printed in the 1991–92 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Another title: Problems of Man in the Operational Environment (formerly SD343), probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
The man-machine-environment complex; the nature of the operational environment; neuroendocrine system and the non-specific response to stress (adaptation); specific effects, hazards, and management of specific forms of stress, e.g. acoustic noise, heat and cold, toxic materials, etc.
