Content

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is used to assess environmental impacts of different subjects, such as products, services, processes and economic activities. They can also be used as a basis for reducing the environmental impacts, for example by highlighting the problem areas and finding alternatives for the causes.
The core idea of a LCA is to look at the complete life cycle of a subject and both identify and quantify the different sources of environmental loads. There exists many different types of LCAs, some compare different products to each other and can be more simplified while others investigate the life cycle of one product in high detail and accuracy, some describe the current situation while others focus on capturing consequences of decisions. LCAs can be constructed based on processes when there is detailed data available but they can also be based on input-output data.

Teaching methods

Blended learning, contact teaching, task-based learning, independent study, teamwork, electronic materials and assignments.

The course introduces the basic physics skills that form the basis of engineering. In addition to supervised independent study based on electronic materials and textbooks, arithmetic exercises play an essential role in the work. The exercises are worked on both independently and in small groups.

Exam schedules

Subtests 1 and 2 during the course on campus
At the end of the course, there will be two retakes, where you can retake either of the subtests 1 and 2.

International connections

The course is implemented as contact teaching on campus. The course proceeds by weekly theme as follows:
1. Students independently familiarise themselves with the theme with the help of a textbook, instructional videos and various support materials before the lecture (shared in Itslearning).
2. Students take part in a lecture session where theory is adopted using versatile learning techniques suitable for the topic.
3. Students practice the weekly theme by doing arithmetic exercises independently and in small groups. Landing exercises are in the Ville system. Students do their arithmetic exercises in the same notebook or in some other way into a coherent collection according to notation practices in physics. The answers are entered into the Ville system, where correct answers earn Ville points.
4. There is a weekly arithmetic practice session where the teacher guides in the calculations and gives advice on unanswered questions.

At the end of the course, students present their calculation exercise notebooks to the teacher or otherwise submit a collection of their arithmetic exercises to the teacher for evaluation. In accordance with the notation practices of physics and clearly presented calculation exercises, additional points are awarded for the assessment.

In addition to the weekly themes, the course is divided into two parts, each of which has its own sub-exam.

Student workload

The course is 5 ECTS, i.e. the workload is approximately 135 h.
Exams and preparation as well as Ville assignments require about 15 hours. Thus, 120 h is available for the 12 weekly themes of the course, i.e. 10 h per weekly theme, which is divided as follows:
-Independent work and small group work 7-8 h
-Participation in the teaching event (tips videos and support sessions on average) 2-3 h.

Content scheduling

Opening lecture on week 36. Teaching weekly during weeks 36-50. A more detailed schedule can be found on the course's Itslearning website.

2. In an unpaid internship, the student signs an internship agreement with the internship (download and fill) and sends it to the internship supervisor (hazem.al-bermanei@turkuamk.fi), who enters the agreement into the electronic signing process (AtomiSign). A plan is always made for the training. The plan will be returned to Itslearning no later than the first days of the traineeship.

After the internship, the student conducts a self-assessment of the internship and requests either a certificate of employment or an internship evaluation from the internship place (working place) and returns it.

In a Research Hatchery (REHA) the learning takes place in a variety of ways: by self-study but also by learning from peers. This is a flexible model for learning that does not offer straightforward answers but motivates the students to work towards goals and take responsibility of their work and learning.

In a REHA students learn about the substance and they also develop their innovation competences: creativity, critical thinking, initiative, group work and networking.

Content

The Research Hatchery is a model in which a multidisciplinary team of students works to solve a circular economy related brief. The need for the brief can rise from a research, development and innovation project, from a client in work life, or from a student. Research Hatchery is led by coaches,people working in the projects and student tutors. Research Hatcheries can be applied in long lasting development projects and as well as short and smaller research projects.

The tasks completed during the project depend on the brief. They might consist of peer development, information search and analysis, the students might interview experts, make visits and conduct research. In addition, the students meet each other regularly without the coach. This can be done face-to-face or using applications. The meetings can take place once a week or less rarely, depending on the brief.

Content

Climate change, depleting natural resources, pollution and urbanization pose some of the greatest challenges in the history of humankind. Good solutions are needed now! These so-called wicked problems are so complex that they need actors from all levels of our society working together. Wicked problems are turned into wicked solutions only by strong collaboration between companies, universities, cities and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). This means that future problem-solvers need to know how to work in the middle ground between the business, research and decision-making sectors. On Solutions.now course it is time to put the knowledge learned from books into practice by solving real life challenges related to sustainability issues. The challenges on the course are given by real companies, who want to make a positive impact with their business.

Much of today’s work consists of working in and leading multidisciplinary projects. However, practical project management courses and company collaborations are non-existent in many university studies. Solutions.now course combines problem- and project-based learning methods with sustainability issues, to let students learn the most critical project management skills while gaining valuable working-life experience. At the same time students learn valuable future skills such as tolerating uncertainties and conflicts and balancing with the knowledge learned from the literature and the frame given by the company.

This course is ideally taken after other sustainability courses so that the students already have some basic knowledge of the complexity of sustainability issues. This course offers a practical way to use that knowledge in real life as well as learn new skills in planning and executing sustainability projects. Students work in multi-disciplinary teams, each team dedicated to one sustainability project. They get to experience how it feels like to use their knowledge to make a positive impact on the world.

Objective

The student will have basic knowledge on how to mitigate noise pollution in environmental planning. The student will have good command of the concepts related to noise mitigation as well as the regulations and guidelines, which govern the field. The student will also understand the basic principles of methods related to noise measurements and simulations. The student can identify the requirements of noise mitigation in a real life setting and assess, if and when there is a need for an external noise mitigation expert.

Content

The course comprises of lectures, calculation demos and group works. Contact teaching for the course is 50 hours. Thematic contents include: the basics of acoustics, soundproofing and absorption in buildings, soundproofing of elevations, environmental noise (including propagation, health effects and regulations), noise measurements related to both traffic (road, railway and air) and local noise (e.g. industrial areas, wind power, events). In addition, the course includes measurements and mitigation alternatives related to traffic vibration. The students will also make a study visit to the acoustics laboratory and do group works on noise propagation measurements.
