• Awareness of issues and societal challenges in sustainability
• Adopt life cycle thinking perspectives for better design
• Apply tools to evaluate the environmental impact of products, processes, services and systems

What You'll Learn

Sustainable engineering is the integration of social, environmental, and economic considerations in the design of products, processes, and engineered systems. This full-day interactive course introduces the concept of sustainability "“ both theory and applications "“ to engineers and designers. Participants will learn of tools available to perform life-cycle assessment (LCA), guided by examine real-life case studies. Takeaways include a perspective on resource circularity, sustainable design, maintenance, and operations of products and systems.
