1. Introduction Projects for engineering students give an edge over the race of recruitment to work hard to ensure a good career. In spite of employment practices in recent times, students

are progressively taking up projects to pad up their skill-set. Engineering projects help students to learn and acquire practical knowledge. Despite of theory concept they acquire, various industries also need to know their capacity to complete projects using their specific initiatives. Thus, we recommend students to realize engineering projects in their four years of engineering and try to present as many white papers as possible. Students who give importance to their course projects are expected to learn how to: Work in teams including multidisciplinary teams Review various case studies of engineering applications based on the knowledge and skills acquired in the course work Evaluate different alternatives using multiple performance indicators and realistic constraints Recognition of the need and identifying opportunities: Every project begins with recognition that needs improvement. These needs may be obvious or hidden to be revealed by investigation, surveys or research. Definition of the real problem: It is a major task requires gathering information about the problem. 2. Project Description The primary objective of the project is to understand the environmental impacts of various energy systems through "Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)" as a tool to provide support for informed decision- making to stakeholders, policymakers, or industries. The project will be carried out in groups (3 members). Each group will be assigned a case study on future energy systems and the students will employ LCA to analyze the topic based on clear performance indicator. The students will deliver a presentation to discuss the topic in front of other students. Each group will select one project topic from a pool of following topics: 1. Perform a Life Cycle Assessment of 'Solar Energy Application' in Kuwait 2. Perform a Life Cycle Assessment of 'Solar Energy Application' in Europe 3. Perform a Life Cycle Assessment of 'Solar Energy Application' in GCC region 4. Perform a Life Cycle Assessment of 'Wind Energy Application' in Kuwait 5. Perform a Life Cycle Assessment of 'Wind Energy Application' in Europe 6. Perform a Life Cycle Assessment of 'Wind Energy Application' in GCC region 7. Perform a Life Cycle Assessment of Biomass Energy Application' in Europe 8. Perform a Life Cycle Assessment of 'Dairy Food Production and Distribution' in Kuwait 9. Perform a Life Cycle Assessment of 'Dairy Food Production and Distribution' in Europe 10. Perform a Life Cycle Assessment of 'Dairy Food Production and Distribution' in GCC region 11. Perform a Life Cycle Assessment of 'Municipal Solid Waste Management' in Kuwait/n12. Perform a Life Cycle Assessment of 'Municipal Solid Waste Management' in Europe 13. Perform a Life Cycle Assessment of 'Municipal Solid Waste Management' in GCC region Use the following points to address the Life cycle analysis in your project topic: 1. Explain the goals and scope definition of selected project topic by defining the boundaries and determining the scope of the LCA project. 2. Present the inventory analysis using data on major inputs, (e.g. raw materials, energy, water) and major outputs, (e.g. emissions, waste) associated with each life cycle stage. 3. Perform Life Cycle Impact Assessment using the environmental impacts of the inputs and outputs 4. Analyze the results of LCA to draw conclusions and make recommendations 5. Identify opportunities for reducing environmental impacts and enhancing sustainability Present your work in the form of an oral presentation. The presentations are to take place during the lecture time as follow: • 5 minutes presentation. • + 2-3 minutes Q&A during the class. 3. ABET Learning Outcome A student who successfully fulfills the course project requirements will have: • An ability to understand the design process of Life Cycle Assessment An ability to identify various stages of the life cycle where the most significant environmental impacts occur An ability to compare different products, processes, or systems to determine which alternative has lower environmental impacts • An ability to make informed decisions and provide insights to stakeholders, policymakers and industries An ability to propose strategies for minimizing environmental burdens and promote more sustainable practices Improve teamwork and communication skills. *SOS* [3] an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences [5] an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives [7] an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning
