The main motivation for this project is to apply the knowledge in technology and human machine interaction and to apply these concepts in this expanding market with the objective of optimizing the processes and the client’s satisfaction. Combine the taste in user centered conception with the human sciences was great motivations for this

I found this session to be really helpful and encouraging. The sequence of events in the session were also well settled because she initially introduced himself, then the basic concepts of weight lifting were highlighted as well as its benefits and then he started off with the basic weight lifting techniques.
