Research Paper

For the Research Paper assignment, students are to select and answer one of the following questions in a well-organized and thoughtful 5-7 page Research Paper. 1. Observe your work environment for a period of one to three days. Take note of particular habits of employees relating to ergonomic issues, i.e. posture at workstations, lifting techniques, patterns of movements, biomechanical factors etc. Refer to page 333 of the textbook and develop a hypothesis around your observations. Describe how you would go about testing that hypothesis, and how you would ultimately implement a training program, behavior modification, or design change to the environment, equipment, or process to positively affect what you observed.
