Ecodesign Project Part 2

General Data
Academic program	ECAM ENGINEERING PROGRAM			:
Type d'EC	Classes
Lectures : 3h00 Tutorials : 1h00 Project : 8h00 Total duration : 24h00	Status :	Period : Semester 6	Education language : English

Learning Outcomes
The project is decomposed into 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

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 6: 1. Courses & tutorials: Ecodesign approaches and strategies. - Courses topics: Ecodesign regulations & strategies, Materials & environment, Design for Sustainable behaviour, Thermal insulation & downsizing, Ecodesign of packaging, design for End-of-life, Innovation for ecodesign. - Tutorials: CES EduPack (choice of materials), Simapro, CREO (CAD modelling) 2. Project sessions (labs) supervised by the teacher: Developing 3 levels of ecodesigned solutions - Solutions developments: calculations, CAD modelling, LCA modelling of the 3 levels 3. Personal work: information search, interpretation of LCA results.

N°	Nature	Coefficient	Observable objectives
1	Deliverables are common between technical and environmental parts, but they are both evaluated for 50% and 50%. Evaluation of S6 is decomposed as follows: - WRITTEN EVALUATION -WE (80% of Final Grade) - D1 (20% of WE): Level 1 of ecodesign - Changing materials and comparative LCA - D2 (30% of WE): Level 2 of ecodesign - Optimizing product performance and comparative LCA - D3 (50% of WE): Level 3 of ecodesign - Innovative and functional redesign and comparative LCA - ORAL EVALUATION (20% of Final Grade): Oral presentation (10 min + 10 min questions) - BONUS/MALUS: +/- 1 point on the Final grade: involvement, attendance, behaviour	1	Project
