The aim of this module is to develop experience in the concepts used to assess processes (socio-economic, sustainability metrics, cost/benefit analysis). Taught by doing real examples, intergrated with projects or indeed industrial case studies. Cost/Benefit analysis and development of broader vision for a larger system is crucial such that unforeseen circumstances.
