Abstract

School children are more at risk than ever before of developing back pain because they carry overweight school bags. Their bag is called upon to perform a variety of actions. It can be everything from an over-sized lunch box to a portable locker. Consequently, an ergonomically designed backpack is created to solve this problem. The main objective of this project is to do some survey, study a suitable design and generate its product concept. The project covers the suitable design of school bag for 7-9 years old kids, the importance of an ergonomic school bag and also a survey about school bag nowadays. The methodology chapter is divided into two categories which are Projek Sarjana Muda 1 and Projek Sarjana Muda 2. These two categories have same steps but the conceptual design of the product is different. The concept of Projek Sarjana Muda 1 which is backpack is revised and as a result, the better concept, trolley bag is developed. First and foremost, survey through questionnaires is done. Then, the design concept is determined. Some observations are done and the existing design of the concept is studied. After that, some designs are created. The best design of trolley school bag is selected through selection matrix. This bag is added some features, such as padded shoulder strap waistband strap, air cushion system, compartment for water bottle, food and school stationery and reflector for safety purposes. As a conclusion, this study would help students due to overload carriage to school. It is recommended for further studies on this topic to prevent back pain among children.
