This course provides students with the necessary background to understand the environmental impacts associated with the choice of a material solution. Without aiming to be exhaustive, general background of environmental impacts and challenges are presented, before describing the methods and tools adapted to performing R&D with an ecological approcah. Here is a list of associated skills: define the basic notions associated with ecodesign, sustainability and circular economy anticipate the environmental pros and cons associated with various material solutions (compartiment and stages of the strongest impacts) select the most appropriate method and tool to practice ecodesign depending on the activity perform a pertinent preparation of a (comparative) life cycle analysis analyze the results obtained from a life cycle analysis and comment them
