Objectives

  • Educational and scientific

In the current context, where various economic and regional stakeholders are taking environmental issues into account, EcoBS expertise provides future engineers with the tools they need to understand, identify, analyze, evaluate, and reduce the environmental impacts of activities related to the creation of value in goods and services. 
Life cycle engineering methodologies make it possible to take into account all of a product's environmental impacts throughout its life cycle.
This approach can be implemented throughout all phases of product/service development and marketing using eco-innovation, life cycle analysis, eco-design tools, and circular economy and functional economy concepts.
In line with the current trend toward dematerialization, the concept of a product also refers to a service.
 

  • Professionals and career opportunities

Be able to integrate tools into a company and its design process that enable the sustainable application of eco-design and eco-innovation approaches.

Leading this eco-design initiative: integration into the process, but also implementation of assessment tools and product and service innovation.

Program

  • Module 1 - Current situation

Overview of environmental issues and resources in our modern societies. Interactions between the economy, the environment, and society. Consequences and prospects for economic actors in product development models. 

  • Module 2 - Environmental Assessment of Products and Services 

Develop a Carbon Footprint (CF) and/or Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for a product or service, evaluate the impacts in order to improve the company's environmental performance.  

  • Module 3 - Methods and tools for eco-innovation and eco-design 

Acquire methods and tools for integrating environmental parameters into the various phases of product design in order to reduce its environmental impact throughout its life cycle.

  • Module 4 - The various levers of eco-design 

Consider the management of the materials that make up the product in order to optimize production through sustainable processes and anticipate end-of-life (recycling, recovery, etc.). Low-techapproach .

Testimonials

"The ECOBS expertise allowed me to understand a new facet of engineering, namely its place in a societal and industrial world increasingly constrained by environmental issues. Eco-design is emerging as the solution for engineers faced with these challenges. The numerous company visits allowed me to make the connection between the theoretical environmental approach and the realities in the field." Nathan Back-to-school meal 2019

"Designing without knowing how to eco-design seems like heresy today." Romain

"ECOBS expertise deserves to be highlighted, as it enables us to develop a critical view of current industry technologies. It introduces us to problem-solving methods relating to innovation, eco-design, and product life cycle analysis." Valentin

"This semester gives you a comprehensive overview of all sources of pollution when designing a product." Hugo

"In my opinion, the environmental aspect is essential in training the engineers of tomorrow, since we will all be confronted with it, whether we like it or not." Xavier

"The EcoBS expertise is perfect for complementing an Arts et Métiers curriculum Arts et Métiers ecological concepts. The institute is located on the shores of Lake Bourget, surrounded by mountains. You are made to feel welcome and there are genuine links with the administration and teaching staff." Alexandre
