The objective of the assignment is exposing the students to new sustainable technologies 

$($ products $,$ processes $,$ software, etc.$)$ and the Life Cycle Analysis of Such technologies. The students will learn how to perform the LCA in their own domain of engineering. This analysis is done in groups $(5-10$ students$)$ ; therefore, students will also be exposed to a collaborative teamwork and leadership issues.

Grading
