Acquisition of knowledge about contemporary approaches and aspects of the products and processes ecodesign. Development of scientific capabilities, academic and practical skills in the domain of ecodesign. Achieving the ability to use information and communication technologies in the processes of implementation of ecological and engineering aspects in the design of products and processes.

Advanced knowledge of ecodesign of products and processes. Ability to independently solve practical and theoretical problems in the field of ecodesign using scientific methods. Mastering creativity with the goal of developing new procedures and strategies for the ecodesign. Development of creative and independent judgment of problems in the field of ecological design of products and processes.

Product life cycle. Product life cycle assessment. Basic concepts and features of the ecodesign. Philosophy of ecodesign. Methods of ecodesign. Methodological method of ecodesign. Strategic circle of ecodesign. Ecodesign strategies. Analysis of products and processes using the ecodesign strategic circle. Tools for ecodesign. Integration of the ecodesign into the product life cycle. Ecodesign studies. Systems for automated product and process design based on the principles of ecodesign. Development trends of ecodesign.

Lectures, study research work and consultations. The lectures provide a theoretical part of the material using modern equipment and information and communication technologies. Through lectures, a student acquires and mastered contemporary scientific knowledge, scientific methods and procedures that enable him to become independent research work. In addition to lectures, consultations are also held regularly. Study research work includes all forms of teaching that are in the function of directly training a student for research, writing scientific papers and making a doctoral dissertation. Study research work includes active monitoring of primary scientific sources, organization and execution of numerical simulations and experimental research.
