Learning Outcomes
The targeted skills are as follows: • Be able to qualify and quantify the impact of technological solutions on the overall performance of the product (environmental advantage, consumption of resources such as raw materials, energy consumption, emission of polluting and / or dangerous substances), • Be able to carry out a simplified Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), • Be able to improve the general eco-design approach, • Be able to propose coherent and relevant innovation strategies for a company.

• Be able to propose coherent and relevant innovation strategies for a company.

Content
The purpose of this course is to guide students in their general eco-design approach. Ecodesign is the systematic integration of environmental aspects from the design and development of products with the aim of reducing negative environmental impacts throughout their life cycle. This early stage approach to a design process aims to find the best balance between environmental, social, technical and economic requirements in product design and development. The "NF X 30-264 Environmental management" standard helps to set up an eco-design approach. Students will have a reflection in the upstream phases of the design, via generic questions and qualitative evaluations. The following strategy will be detailed: • Aim for a high degree of functionality, • Ensure safe use, • Identify usage scenarios and their drifts, • Eco design centered on use, • Use less energy and material when using, • Use the resources implemented as intensively as possible, • Use the resources implemented for as long as possible, • Reuse the materials implemented, • Source with other materials/components.
