Competence in sustainability.
Learning outcomes
Understand the principles of sustainability and
sustainable development goals, and be able to
relate them to sustainable materials and
renewable
energy, and consider how engineering can
provide
more sustainable solutions. Understand the
mechanisms and latest scientific results on the
environment, including the climate and
biodiversity. Awareness of the impacts of raw
material extraction and processing, and their
context within planetary boundaries. Ability to
identify the potential environmental impacts
from
engineering products and processes, and
consider
appropriate climate mitigation strategies
including carbon capture storage and
utilization.
Course contents
Sustainability principles, climate and resources,
energy generation and storage, renewable
materials, material recycling, carbon capture,
storage and utilization, and climate engineering.
