Full Description

The exam examines life cycle assessment (LCA) methodologies, focusing on their application in industrial design to evaluate the environmental impacts of products throughout their life span.

The significance of LCA methodologies lies in their ability to guide designers and engineers in making informed decisions that favor sustainability. Accurate assessments help organizations reduce their carbon footprint and enhance product-market competitiveness.

Candidates will be tested on their grasp of LCA stages, tools, and techniques used in evaluating product sustainability. They will demonstrate their ability to articulate these processes clearly and coherently during the examination.

Familiarity with case studies involving successful LCA integrations into product development will be beneficial for candidates in articulating their knowledge and insights.
