	Objectives
	GENERAL OBJECTIVE. THE COURSE AIMS TO ENABLE LEARNING OF THE CONCEPTS OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND ENERGY-ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY RELATED TO THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERING AND INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS, ACCORDING TO THE PRINCIPLES OF LIFE CYCLE DESIGN. ALSO, IT AIMS TO PROVIDE THE PRINCIPLES OF ANALYSIS, TECHNICAL DESIGN AND DURABILITY OF SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING ALSO FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF REUSE, RECYCLING AND RECOVERY OF MATERIALS, ACCORDING TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY PHILOSOPHY OF THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING SKILLS THE STUDENT: - WILL ACQUIRE SKILLS RELATED TO THE SUSTAINABILITY OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS; - WILL BE FAMILIAR WITH THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND ENERGY-ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH THE ASSESSMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS THROUGHOUT THE LIFE CYCLE OF PRODUCTS AND PROCESSES IN THE DESIGN/CONSTRUCTION/MAINTENANCE OF CIVIL AND INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - APPLY ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO QUANTIFY AND ASSESS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS WITH RESPECT TO CIVIL WORKS AND INFRASTRUCTURE; - SELECT SUSTAINABLE DESIGN CHOICES THROUGH THE USE OF "GREEN" MATERIALS AND INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS. AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - HANDLE INFORMATION AND DATA OBTAINED FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES IN ORDER TO ANALYZE AND PROCESS THEM IN ORDER TO MAKE POSSIBLE PROPOSALS FOR ACTION; - INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATE ENVIRONMENTAL FALLOUT OF A SPECIFIC PRODUCTION PROCESS; -IDENTIFY POSSIBLE TECHNICAL IMPROVEMENT SOLUTIONS WITH A VIEW TO SUSTAINABILITY. COMMUNICATION SKILLS. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - CRITICALLY ANALYZE, PROPOSE AND DISCUSS THE RESULTS OF THEIR ANALYSIS WITH SPECIALIST AND NON-SPECIALIST INTERLOCUTORS REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF ECO-SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS, TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEMS AND CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES. LEARNING SKILLS. THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO: - INDEPENDENTLY EXPLORE SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES IN DEPTH FROM THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED; -USE THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND TOOLS IN ALL POSSIBLE AREAS OF THE CIVIL AND INFRASTRUCTURAL WORKS SECTOR IN ORDER TO MINIMIZE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND WITH A VIEW TO THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY.
