Programme Outlines and Overviews

Sustainable Product Realisation 7.5 credits

Course content

In this course, students will engage in hands-on projects applying sustainability and circularity strategies to product development challenges. Students will design and build product concepts, using materials and manufacturing process that highlight the trade-offs between sustainability, manufacturability, and user experience. By the end of the course, students will have developed both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in creating sustainable products. The course includes the following elements: - Engineering materials and their properties - The relationship between materials, manufacturing, product design, and user experience - Energy- and resource-efficient manufacturing processes, including for example casting, additive manufacturing, and welding - Concept development and prototyping for showcasing product lifecycles - Sustainability assessment tools such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) - Balancing sustainability with other design requirements in a holistic approach - Life cycle costing analysis
