Further information on descriptions Description: Aims:
The aim is to provide the student with a deeper appreciation of the practical application of topics covered in the IEM 'technical' units: Life Cycle Assessment, Clean Technology 1 & 2 and Energy Management. This is achieved through a practical case study group exercise and by talks given by practitioners working in each of the relevant environmental fields.

Learning Outcomes:
After successfully completing this unit students should be able to put the academic content of the ‘technical’ units into a ‘real world’ context and demonstrate their application of life cycle thinking to an unfamiliar case set in a realistic business context.

Skills:
The students practice team and presentation skills in the case study project which they complete.

Content:
Five lectures/discussion groups lead by practitioners/consultants in LCA, Clean Technology I and II, Energy Management, and an integrated case study exercise applying life cycle principles and culminating in a presentation given by the students on the final day.
