Diploma in Ergonomics (DErg)

ADMISSION BROCHURE - 2012

DESIGNED FOR EASE AND EFFICIENCY

NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING (NITIE)


VIHAR LAKE, MUMBAI 400087

Introduction
Ergonomics (Manav Karya Vigyan) is a scientific discipline that concerns with the interactions
between

the human, the artifacts and the working environment where people participate.

Ergonomics professionals acquire specialization in making the products and workplaces more
efficient, usable and safer. The knowledge and skill of ergonomics professionals covers wide area of
specializations, which include occupational health and safety, human workload measurement, health
monitoring, product design, job analysis, job design, workstation design, evaluation of workenvironment, measurement of human capacity and capabilities, information design, cognitive system
design and others. To meet this demand, Industrially Developed Countries (IDCs) are already
offering certification programmes in Ergonomics to produce Certified Ergonomics Professionals,
e.g., Board of Certification in Professional Ergonomics (BCPE) in USA, Harmonizing European
Training Programmes for the Ergonomics Profession (HETPEP) for European Countries. In India and
in South East Asia, such a professional programme in Ergonomics is lacking.

To fill this lacuna, NITIE, through TIFAC CORE in Ergonomics and Human Factors Engineering, is
offering a Diploma in Ergonomics (DErg) programme. The programme is developed based on
Ergonomist Formation Model by Rookmaaker et al. (1992). The programme will provide the general
breadth of knowledge and commonly accepted tools and techniques for analysis of human
performance in an existing man-machine environment system with overall idea on the
implementation of ergonomic evaluation process.

Objectives

To provide a general awareness about the importance of ergonomic approach in product design
and healthcare related issues.

To provide the basic framework to handle ergonomic related problems and produce user-centered
products.

To improve the professional image of Indian and south east Asian ergonomics professional in a
competitive world market.

To provide knowledge on analysis and assessment of human interactions in a work-environment


system.

Scope of Application and Practice

To conduct basic analysis of a facility which can identify problem areas using widely recognized
ergonomic methods.

To conduct basic ergonomic task analysis using tools such as checklists, questionnaires, video
recording etc.

To identify basic mismatches between the job requirements and the human capabilities.

To identify musculoskeletal and performance related problems.

To identify sources of cognitive error such as violations of occupational stereotypes, inconsistent


displays etc.

To apply established ergonomics techniques to address the conventional work related problems.

Entry Qualification
Applicant should have basic degree as:

A Graduate Degree in Life Science/ Behavioral/ Home Science OR A Bachelor Degree in


Engineering/ Medicine (MBBS)/ Occupational Therapy/ Physical Therapy OR An Engineering
Degree/ Diploma in Industrial Safety recognized by DISHs.

Working/ teaching/ research experience in the area of Ergonomics will be preferred.

ABOUT NITIE
NITIE was incepted in 1963 to deliver a unique mission raising the productivity of Indias industries and to
make their limited resources gainfully utilized. Aided by ILO, the Government of India set up NITIE as the
only training institute that sought to teach materials management, work study, inventory control, shop floor
management and personnel management to Indias industry professionals.
Vision : To be a leader in the knowledge led productivity movement.
Mission : To nourish a learning environment conducive to foster innovations in productivity and business
development.
Having amply established itself in industrial training, the institute launched its first Post Graduate
Programme as a 2 year Diploma in Industrial Engineering (PGDIE) in 1971, to teach graduates of
engineering, the methods and techniques of industrial engineering. Subsequently, with its qualitative and
quantitative teaching capabilities ably strengthened, NITIE introduced 3 more full time Post Graduate twoyear management programmes in Industrial Management (PGDIM), Industrial Safety and Environmental
Management (PGDISEM) and Information Technology Management (PGDITM).
NITIE also offers fellowship programme of Doctorate level recognised as equivalent to Ph.D. of an Indian
University. Along with training and management education, today NITIE is vigorously engaged in
industrial consultancy, sponsored projects, and applied research. NITIE aspires to provide executive talent
to help India manage emerging technologies. To this end, in its pedagogy NITIE has carefully crafted an
unmatched blend of classroom education in such technologies, management principles and hands-on
practice. Currently, NITIE is engaged in an aggressive upgradation of its infrastructure to achieve these
goals.
NITIE has established a Centre of Excellence in Ergonomics and Human Factors Engineering (CEEHFE)
as a part of the Government of Indias Technology Mission 2020 through TIFAC (Technology
Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council) Mission REACH (Relevance and Excellence in
ACHieveing new heights in educational institutions) programme.
NITIE is administered through a Board of Governors representing industry, government, labour and
professional bodies with Shri Gautam Thapar, Industrialist as Chairman and Dr. Amitabha De as Director
I/C
