Découvrez les 10 directives du Guide national sur le développement durable et la gérance environnementale d’Ingénieurs Canada.

Ce cours est un projet conjoint d’ Ingénieurs Canada (IC) et de Polytechnique Montréal. Il propose des études de cas réelles, visant à illustrer l’application des 10 directives du Guide national sur le développement durable et la gérance environnementale à l’intention des ingénieurs (2016). Les études de cas sont tirées de différents domaines de pratique, allant des mines au bâtiment, en passant par le manufacturier et les ouvrages de génie civil, le tout dans des contextes variés : Grand Nord québécois, banlieue de Vancouver, quartier résidentiel d’Ottawa, etc.

Le cours donnera aussi aux ingénieur(e)s des outils pour mettre en œuvre ces directives dans leur pratique professionnelle.

What you'll learn

À la fin de ce cours, vous devriez être en mesure de :

  • expliquer les concepts de base du développement durable (DD) et de la gérance environnementale (GE) et leur lien avec l’ingénierie;
  • décrire des exemples concrets de mise en œuvre des directives d’Ingénieurs Canada dans des projets d'ingénierie;
  • identifier des outils qui peuvent aider les ingénieurs à intégrer des aspects du DD et de la GE dans leur pratique au quotidien.
  • exprimer l’importance de tenir compte des transformations de notre environnement dans la pratique de l’ingénierie.
