Learning goals and objectives:

As the infrastructure and engineering products and processes are becoming more and more complex, engineers need to integrate consideration of whole-life environmental and social impacts ? positive as well as negative ? with the mainstream and commercial aspects of their work.Wise use of natural resources, minimum adverse impact and maximum positive impact on people and the environment are the targets. The course will help the students: -appreciate why consideration of sustainability is in their interest; -how renewable sources can contribute to a healthier environment; -assess the positive impact of the smart grid for a better exploitation of the electric energy sources; -understand the role of clean and efficient vehicle for a sustainable transport.
