This micro-credential equips engineers and other design professionals with the knowledge and skills to make informed decisions based on quantifiable environmental evidence relating to the impacts of their products and services.

You'll gain a deep understanding of the life cycle framework, and how we can achieve truly sustainable outcomes by balancing environmental, economic, and social considerations in product and project development. You can enable and implement effective strategies in your current role or future career to shape a low-carbon and resource-efficient future, and become a leader in more nuanced eco-metrics, such as circularity measurement and assessment..

As part of the course, you will apply your learning to undertake a detailed, hands-on LCA of an engineering product, process or system, and apply life cycle principles to potentially reduce its environmental impacts.
