The aim of the course is for the student to: understand the concept of sustainable development; understand the principles, indicators and goals of sustainable development; understand the importance of the application of materials in the concept of sustainable development; identify critical raw materials and the life cycle of products; understand the units and different ways of displaying quantities in the production and consumption of energy; understand the possibilities of energy saving and the importance of environmental protection in order to meet the requirements of sustainable development; understand the concept of fuel and understand the basic characteristics and importance of quality standards for fuels; understand the importance of using renewable energy sources; understand the impact of fuel use on the environment (through the importance of the carbon footprint); understand the importance and problems of friction, wear and lubrication in the field of design and maintenance of mechanical systems; understand the role of lubricants and the importance of proactive maintenance; understand the impact of waste oils and the importance of their recycling; develop the knowledge and skills necessary for planning and managing resources, including water resources, in the context of climate change and environmental and social responsibility.

On the basis of acquired knowledge, the student is able to: apply the basic concept and analyze the goals of sustainable development; identify and analyze energy and environmental indicators; analyze and recalculate energy flows within the industrial process; analyze energy saving opportunities and intensify the effects of environmental protection; analyze the advantages and disadvantages of using renewable energy sources; recognize the main causes of energy and material dissipation in a mechanical system; assess the impact of the use of lubricants and the lubrication process on industrial processes; consider the possibilities of using water as a basic resource; through the acquired communication and presentation skills, as well as the use of specialized software, successfully promote and analyze the fulfillment of sustainable development goals in a business and production environment.
