    Abstract

    This proposal shows the development and implementation of education in Ergonomics and design in the Faculty of Industrial Design in the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana in Medellin, Colombia through a line of research on the subject. The goal of this line is to create a culture on the subject by introducing courses into the Industrial design undergraduate study program, creating undergraduate research groups, sponsoring research projects as well as applications to everyday university life, as strategies oriented towards articulating both disciplines and strengthening the concepts which lead to a more human design.
