[http://www.ergonomics4schools.com/lzone/ergonomics.htm '''Ergonomics'''] ''(aka [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_factors_and_ergonomics '''Human Factors'''])'' is about designing things to suit people such that chairs are comfortable to sit on, scissors easy to hold and worktops at the right height for example.

Ergonomics in its broadest sense includes also adapting things to the way we think, remember and organise things but in '''[[Design and Technology]]''' we are most concerned with designing to suit the size and shape of the human form. This is known as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_factors_and_ergonomics#Physical_ergonomics '''Physical Ergonomics'''].
