Mining Engineering (IV semester -PhD) |
|
Name of subject: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) |
Instructors:
Prof. Ivica Ristović |
|
Status: Optional |
|
ECTS: 10 |
|
Prerequisites: - |
Course Objectives:
The aim of the course is to analyze the techniques used in the methodology for analyzing and evaluating the life cycle of products and the elements of the production cycle. |
Learning Outcomes:
Students will be trained to carry out product life cycle analysis as well as analysis and assessment of individual parts of the production cycle in order to establish a link between products and the environment, the impact of products and production processes on the environment and the sustainable production, use and reuse of products in order to protect the life middle. |
Content:
Theory teaching
