Abstract
In the course of Ergonomics and Design 2 of the Faculty of Industrial Design, the relationship between Ergonomics/Human Factors and the Design process is methodologically established. The corresponding criteria of each discipline for each stage and how they should be developed in a parallel and complimentary manner is stated, especially since the beginning of the configuration process of the objects/products [1]. Strategies are developed pedagogically for the development of skills related with the comprehension of the characteristics, needs, and requirements associated with the usage context, where the user unwinds the activity and the product in terms of security. The proposed pedagogical tool or workshop is based on the search, analysis, and systematization of data related to the activity environment of the project, and to the Architectural barriers. Besides being developed and implemented in classrooms, it allows to recognize and characterize the requirements associated with the context, and its interaction with different elements of the ergonomic system (User-Product-Context) [2].
