Studenti budou znám principy metody posuzování životního cyklu a budou umět jí rámcově použít pro technologické i správní či manažerské projekty. Studenti budou mít přehlet o základních kategoriích dopadu na úrovni medpointů i endpointů. Studenti se budou orientovat v probematice environmentálních prohlášení a budou umět rozpoznat, zda určitý technologický postup nemá potenciál vytvářet přenesenou environmentální zátěž.
