CIVE5275 (Life Cycle Assessment of Materials, Products, and Infrastructure) course reviews and ratings at Northeastern (NEU). Compare professors with RateMyProfessor reviews.
Explores the conceptual and mathematical foundations of life cycle assessment (LCA), a widely used systems-modeling method for quantifying emissions and assessing the environmental and health impacts of products and processes. Covers engineering models of industrial material and energy use and emissions, as well as environmental science models of fate and transport, exposure, and toxicology. Examines Monte Carlo simulation, structural path analysis, and model sensitivity analysis for industrial network structures underlying LCA modeling. Introduces open-source LCA data and software and their application to real-world industry and policy analyses.
