The exhibit displays student work from DEA/PSYCH/COG SCI 1500: Introduction to Environmental Psychology for an Ergonomic Analysis exercise. This exercise asks students to conduct an ergonomic analysis of their surroundings, identify a problem and propose a solution to the observed problem.

Problem: Students identify an ergonomic problem and analyze what the likely causes of this poor interface are, based on human factors concepts learned in class. For their analysis, students also discuss a salient social
