dc.description.abstract ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is evaluating both furniture and layout of the computer lab in the Industrial Engineering Department at EMU University and its effect on the student posture, performance and attention. Fifty students were used as subjects. Their ages range between 18 to 35 years. Eleven anthropometric data of the subjects were measured including: Stature, shoulder height, shoulder elbow height, buttock popliteal length, popliteal height, knee height, forearm hand length, hip width, elbow sitting height, sitting height and eye sitting height. The mean, standard deviation, percentiles, minimum and maximum value of anthropometric dimensions were calculated. The current layout of the lab was evaluated by observing the number of workstations, aisles, free areas available, placement of whiteboard and presentation screen. The current layout was found to fail to comply with Ergonomy design criteria. The results from hypotheses testing showed that there are significant differences between male and female body dimensions. A new design of furniture and a new layout for PC lab proposed to improve the level of comfort and the level of attention to lectures for students. Keywords: Anthropometric data, Percentiles, Ergonomy design criteria, layout. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ÖZ: Bu çalısmanın amacı, Endüstri Mühendisligi DAÜ Üniversitesi Bölümü ve ögrenci durus, performans ve dikkat üzerindeki etkisi bilgisayar laboratuvarı mobilya ve düzeni hem de degerlendirmektedir. Elli ögrenciler denek olarak kullanıldı. Yasları 18 ile 35 yıl arasında degismektedir. Boy, omuz yüksekligi, omuz dirsek yüksekligi, kalça popliteal uzunluk, popliteal yükseklik, diz yüksekligi, ön kol el uzunluk, kalça genisligi, dirsek oturma yüksekligi, yükseklik oturma ve göz yüksekligi oturma: Deneklerin on antropometrik verileri dahil olmak üzere ölçüldü.Ortalama, standart sapma, yüzdelik, minimum ve antropometrik boyutları maksimum degeri hesaplanmıstır. Laboratuar mevcut düzeni is istasyonları, koridorlar, bos alanlar, beyaz tahta ve sunum ekranınızda mevcut düzeni yerlestirilmesi Ergonomi tasarım kriterleri uymadıgınız bulunmustur sayısı gözlemleyerek degerlendirildi. Hipotez testi elde edilen sonuçlar kadın ve erkek kasa ölçüleri arasında önemli farklılıklar oldugunu göstermistir. Mobilya ve bilgisayar laboratuarı için yeni bir düzen yeni bir tasarım konfor ve ögrenciler için ilgi düzeyi düzeyini artırmak için önerdi. Anahtar Kelimeler: Antropometrik veriler,Yüzdelik,Ergonomi tasarım kriterleri, düzen. en_US
