// Eco-design of innovative products


// Introduction and objectives of the course

Eco-design addresses every step of a product life cycle as well as environmental criteria: choice of materials, design, energetic balance, manufacturing, recycling and recoverability. The objective of this approach is twofold: to reduce the negative impact of a product on the environment and foster innovations that can help protect it. Eco-design enhances the mechanical trades and ensures their continuity by implementing innovative technologies that are applicable to many areas of daily life: production of renewable sources of energy, transport (railway, automobile), packaging, home automation.

The technical staff trained in the vocational bachelor’s degree will have the technical, scientific and organizational resources required towards that goal by companies with an eco-designed approach. Through a comprehensive process of designing a product and its life cycle, they will be able to:

  • Interpret environmental regulations
  • Practise environmental management
  • Set up specifications starting from a need and translate them into a functional diagram
  • Practise eco-design and the analysis of the life cycle
  • Negotiate technological solutions with economic partners
  • Support innovative projects and technological challenges
