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