In the context of the entire product life cycle, the design phase is the most important, because all subsequent phases directly depend on the design. In other words, this phase influences all the following phases. The material itself influences around 80 percent of the final product properties, so designers need to know how to select a material that optimally meets the design requirements while also meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The designer needs to know and apply the methodology of sustainability assessment and at the same time have sufficient information during the material design phase. Ansys Granta EduPack provides comprehensive information for students. Assessing sustainability only after the design phase leads to an overpriced product or often the change cannot even be made. This course addresses the above-mentioned issue. A. Materials Selection in Mechanical Design 1. Design and materials. 2. Design-led approaches to materials. (Properties of materials from the designer's point of view.) Materials Property Charts. 3. Materials Selection. Selection of Material and Shape. B. Materials and Sustainable Development 4. Sustainability and Materials - brief histories. 5. Materials,Water, Energy, People. (Material production, material consumption, and growth.) What is a 'Sustainable Development'? 6. The Material Life Cycle and Design Process. Eco-informed materials selection. 7. The Material Life Cycle and its Context. Environmental Life Cycle Assessment, E-LCA. Social Life Cycle Assessment, S-LCA. Life Cycle Costing, LCC. Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA). 8. The Material Life Cycle and its Context. Criticality and Supply Chain Risk. Circular Materials Economics. Corporate Sustainability and Materials. 5 Big Materials Issues from SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). 9. The Assessment Method. Assessing Proposals for Sustainable Developments. Tools, Prompts, and Checklists. 10. - 12. Case Studies 13. Revision.
