Abstract

This report presents the ergonomic features of FKM classroom and its compatibility for FKM students who use the design during the class. The objectives of this report are to identify ergonomic design variabilities at FKM classroom, analyses FKM’s student posture when using classroom chair, and evaluate and comparing the ergonomic assessment between FKM, FKE, FKEKK, FKP, and PBPI. Research only focused on evaluate the pattern and its compatibility between existed design with the suggested ergonomic standards. The surveys and questionnaire have been carried out among FKM student to acknowledge their feedback about the classroom design, surrounding comfort and the furniture design. Besides that, the anthropometric measurement and chair dimension are taken to obtain the data about the match and mismatch between students’ size and existed chair design. Also, ergonomic classroom environment form has been filled for other faculty to compare with FKM classroom in term of classroom lighting, chair features and classroom spacing. Data collection using human observation methods and manual calculations. Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) was use to validate the result obtain by the manual calculation. The RULA analysis was perform by CATIA software. The conclusion obtained can be use as guideline for improving further design to ensure the student does not feel discomfort and experience Musculoskeletal Disorder (MSDs).
