Environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, and resource depletion pose significant threats to global health. Improving global environmental conditions through sustainable engineering practices directly enhances human well-being.

This course addresses these challenges by integrating sustainability principles with engineering solutions, making it highly relevant to global health initiatives.

Course Description

This advanced-level course covers fundamental concepts of sustainability, energy auditing, green and sustainable materials, and life-cycle frameworks for sustainability. Participants will learn to apply sustainability principles to the management of energy, water, and waste systems, with a strong emphasis on engineering applications.

• Online lectures


• Problem-based learning


• Video case studies


• Assignments and an analytical Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) project (approximately six weeks)

Assessment

Participants will complete quizzes and assignments. Students will demonstrate key knowledge in sustainability by conducting a comprehensive Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) project.

Final evaluation will be based on coursework and project submissions.

Upon completing the course, participants will receive recognition in the form of 5 ECTS credits.
