Who is this Micro-credential for?? 
This micro-credential is suited to individuals with backgrounds in engineering, applied sciences, and related disciplines with roles in supporting sustainable initiatives to address the existing knowledge gap relating to undertaking life cycle assessments. Furthermore, a broader awareness of complementary ecometrics evaluation methods will support more advanced decision-making in relation to the economic, environmental, and social trade-offs when addressing sustainability.

 

Why should I take this Micro-credential?? 
The micro-credential allows you to upskill and develop core knowledge to design and manage assets through a life cycle lens. Specifically, you will:

•    Gain practical knowledge of the LCA process according to the ISO 14000 family of standards, and a capacity to undertake a LCA for any existing product, system, or process in line with these best-practice standards.
•    Apply critical evaluation skills to review other life cycle studies to ensure quality assurance of the conclusions and recommendations.
•    Develop the capacity to produce practical guidance from ecometric study findings to inform more sustainable engineering products, systems, and processes.
•    Develop the ability to undertake an advanced circular measurement and assessment in line with the new ISO 59000 family of standards to further enhance the sustainability of new products, systems, or processes.

Our Micro-credentials are all CPD approved by Engineers Ireland.
