Study Guide

Learning outcomes

The student is able to
- to know the factors that effects on the material, energy and resource efficiency of sustainable process engineering
- to know the principles of the process engineering and product design tools taken the sustainability aspects into account ( e.g. life cycle assessment (LCA) approach)
- to use on a general level CAD/Solid Works programmes
