Ergonomics is the human factor in engineering. It is the study of how people interact with machines. Most products have to work with people in some manner. People occupy a space in or around the design, and they may provide a source of power or control or act as a sensor for the design. For example, people sense if an automobile air-conditioning system is maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the car. These
factors form the basis for human factors, or ergonomics, of a design
