A well-designed classroom chair is considered an important teaching resource to improve comfort and concentration in lecturing and peer activities of students. This research work focuses on the design of an improved classroom chair for engineering students to enhance active and conducive teaching-learning environment in Ethiopia universities. The motivation to do this research is the observed challenges and functional requirements in the classroom of many Ethiopian engineering institutes. Alternative conceptual nodal classroom chairs were sketched to reach to the final design of the classroom chair that can meet the specified requirements. The final designed nodal classroom chair was developed based on the assigned criteria’s. The designed chair has four pivots to move the seat and table at the specified position to allow students during individual and peer activities. It is also developed considering the international furniture design guideline to maintain the ergonomic and anthropometric size of higher education students. In the final design of the nodal classroom chair, the critical dimensions of the average popliteal height of seat chair and table height are taken as 460 mm and 760 mm respectively based on the standard guidelines of British and EN 1729. An improved nodal classroom chair can be used to implement both lecture and Engineering drawing preparation with maximum size of A3 paper size. |
