In this work, we present a study about the Life Cycle Analysis of knowledge of products and processes of engineering students. This aspect is very relevant in engineering education since it has direct implications on sustainability. The first step was to identify what the learning problems were, and taking them into account, a specific teaching sequence was designed and implemented over three academic years. Two activities, on an increasing level of complexity, of the application of Life Cycle Assessment are shown in this paper. The first one is the Life Cycle Analysis comparison between two steel and polypropylene pieces. The second one is the Life Cycle Analysis comparison between three different ends of life of a polypropylene piece: mechanical recycling, incineration, and landfill. Data on the evolution of students’ marks while solving a “one step more difficult project” throughout these courses have been collected. The results show a generalized learning by the students about Life Cycle Analysis. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/IUCA/BEAGLE info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 3.3 2024 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES 178 / 376 = 0.473 2024 Q2 T2 ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 80 / 193 = 0.415 2024 Q2 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 67 / 103 = 0.65 2024 Q3 T2 GREEN & SUSTAINABLE SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 67 / 103 = 0.65 2024 Q3 T2 0.688 2024 Geography, Planning and Development 2024 Q1 Energy Engineering and Power Technology 2024 Q2 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2024 Q2 Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment 2024 Q2 Hardware and Architecture 2024 Q2 Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law 2024 Q2 Computer Networks and Communications 2024 Q2 7.7 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Echarri, Itsaso Gandía, Luis M.
