Course Title:
Materials And Manufacturing Sustainability
Course Number:
ENGM294
Course Description:
The human race is transiting from an era of material plenty where material supply and disposal has not been an issue. With the global population now exceeding 7.7 billion, and with rising global affluence and increased environmental awareness, it is evident that this era is now coming to an end. Sustainable use of materials means living in this altered environment, where our society is reliant on water, energy and materials in order to maintain quality of life, without compromising that of future generations. This module will build on earlier modules to provide a deeper understanding of materials extraction and processing, product design, manufacturing and materials recovery in the context of sustainability. Alongside this it will equip participants with tools to quantifiably evaluate the materials, manufacturing and design choices made with respect to their environmental and sustainability impact.
