Abstract. The purpose of this study is to redesign and create an engine stand to practice engine tune up for students and determine the level of risk of student ergonomics. The study was conducted on students who carry out the practice of gasoline engine courses in automotive engineering education study programs. The test was carried out in two stages, first analyzing complaints and the level of ergonomic risk before using the adjustable height engine stand by the nordic body map (NBM) and Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) methods. Second, analyzing complaints and the level of ergonomic risk by using an adjustable height engine stand with the NBM and RULA methods. Based on the results of student anthropometry calculations and analysis using the RULA method, the ideal height of the engine stand is 100.2 Cm to 110.42 Cm. The results of testing the use of this adjustable height engine stand and analysis using the Nordic body map method can be concluded that the use of an adjustable height engine stand can reduce complaints of pain in the body (musculoskeletal disorders) and reduce the level of ergonomic risk at a level of Score 1 or 2 which means acceptable posture or is still within the acceptable limits of the body.
