UNIT 1
MODULE 2: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK OF GREEN ENGINEERING (cont’d)
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
Students should be able to:
6. identify the opportunities for
integration of processes and
material flows during the product
design phase;
7. discuss the benefits and limitations
of integration of processes and
material flows during the product
design phase;
8. discuss the inter-relationship
between Green Engineering and
Industrial Ecology;
Technologies For Collaborative Design and Product Lifecycle Management
9. examine types of software used to
simulate product features; and,
10. justify the use of each software.
