My Reflection on AnthropometryAnthropometry is the exciting field of studying measurements or the proportion of the human body. In my four major classes, I was introduced to anthropometry. In math class, I studied biometrics by measuring my bone growth. Ergonomics was introduced in science class, by designing a functional log cabin. In addition, I studied malnutrition in sub-Saharan Africa as part of our global studies class. Lastly, in literature class, I studied anthropology relating to the Nigerian tribes and by reading Shakespeare. As a result, I realized that changing in population, lifestyle, culture, and nutrition all effects the change in human dimensions. This relates directly to anthropometric and how it influences the way, things are made and designed. Therefore keeping with what I learned in school, my partner and I chose the science room as our project to redesign. Our assignment was to use anthropometry to design an optimal middle school learning environment. In fact, I believe an optimal science room learning environment should be functional, organized, technology based and ergonomically friendly. First, to redesign the science room I needed to find the best way to utilize the room space. I walked around the room, sat in different places and tried to find what furniture and arrangement would best fit. Then, to make the room more optimal I modified the students lab tables to be more ergonomically each having their own built-in individual finger print computer. Afterward, the science room flows better once I rearranged the teachers table near the entrance and in front of the classroom. At the end, the result was an innovative and efficient science room. I showed all these features with the main floor plan of the science room using biometric and ergonomics furniture represented on the side of the poster. The model my partner created was a comfortable study chair unit made out of mainly wood, PVC and felt. Overall, these things help made up the design of the optimal science learning room.In summary, was an optimal middle school science room learning environment achieved? Respectively, answering this question took teamwork. For the most part, what I learned most from doing this project is working with a partner. We disagreed on several things but disagreements helped us see things in a different way and in the end made our classroom more optimal. The science room was an easy selection for me because it needed the most improvement. What I did not know was how difficult redesigning the science room would be. Meanwhile, every little thing had to be accounted for, starting from the first step into the classroom with the door size to seating down in a chair, and asking yourself is this comfortable and supportive. However, I do feel that my partner and I did accomplished designing the optimal science room because it was functional and practical. Consequently, after doing the project it would have been nice to put some of the ideas of the optimal science room to use!
