Ecodesign Project Part 1

Formation ECAM LaSalle Ingénieur spécialité Mécanique et Génie Electrique (ENGINEERING PROGRAM)

General Data
Academic program	Formation ECAM LaSalle Ingénieur spécialité Mécanique et Génie Electrique (ENGINEERING PROGRAM)			:
Type d'EC	Classes (LIIEEng05EEcoDesign1Technical)
Lectures : 3h00 Lab Work : 8h00 Project : 2h00 Total duration : 24h00	Status :	Period : Semester 5	Education language : English

Learning Outcomes
The project consists of 2 main phases: - Semester 5: Technical and environmental analysis (Life Cycle Assessment - LCA) of an existing small household appliance - Semester 6: On the basis of the results of the analysis, develop ecodesign proposals for the product, at 3 different levels The 2 phases can be attended independently by the students even if it would be preferable to attend both. Learning outcomes for S5: 1. Basic skills in LCA: - Software modelling (Simapro): choice of data & methods - Capacity to interpret LCA results 2. Generic knowledge on the environment and on evaluations of impacts 3. Practical skills (project): measurement of energy consumption, product dismantling, Bill of Materials building, bibliography & research to define the product life cycle scenario. Learning outcomes for S6: 1. Capacity to switch from analysis to synthesis: define ecodesign strategies on the basis of the analysis (main environmental hot spots) 2. Capacity to develop 3 ecodesigned solutions that are technically viable

Content
The project contains 3 expected content types: courses & tutorials, project sessions (labs), and personal work. For each semester, this projects represents ~40h of work on-site + 20h-30h of personal work. The total workload for each semester is estimated to 60- 70h/student. Content of Semester 5: 1. Courses & tutorials: basics of environmental evaluation & LCA. - Courses topics: global environmental issues, impacts and indicators, life cycle thinking, environmental evaluation using LCA - Tutorials on Simapro 2. Project sessions (labs) supervised by the teacher. - Energy measurements: data acquisition using a data logger - Dismantling (tools available) and BoM definition - Life cycle modelling on Simapro 3. Personal work: information search, interpretation of LCA results.
