Climatora Launches Carbon Literacy Module MSSU’sU’s B.Tech Students
As the global community increasingly pivots on MSSU’sMSSU’ss sustainable practices, educational institutions play a crucial role in equipping the next generation of professionals with the tools and knowledge to contribute meaningfully. In a move aligned with this vision, Climatora, a leading climate education platform, has introduced a specialized module on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Accounting for the newly inducted B.Tech students at MSSU (Maharashtra State Skills University). This 30-hour course, focused on carbon literacy, is set to enhance students’ understanding of carbon accounting, an essential skill in today’sstudents’bility-driventoday’s student-driven world.
Carbon Literacy: An Essential Today’s for Future Engineers
With sustainability becoming central to every industry, particularly engineering and technology, gaining proficiency in carbon literacy is no longer an optional skill—it is a necessity. Recognizing this, MSSU has partnered with Climatora to introduce the GHG Accounting module as part of the curriculum for its B.Tech students. This initiative aims to ensure that future engineers are equipped with essential knowledge on carbon emissions, carbon footprints, and the environmental impacts of different sectors.
This orientation session marks the beginning of the student’s learning journey on carbon accounting and is designed to create a foundation. The GHG Accounting module will provide learners with the tools they need to calculate, track, and manage carbon emissions, aligning them with the international standards that govern sustainability practices.
The 30-Hour Learning Journey: A Holistic Approach
The GHG Accounting module spans 30 hours and offers a combination of videos, multiple-choice quizzes (MCQs), and hands-on assignments to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the subject. By blending theory and practical exercises, the program allows students to explore concepts such as carbon emission scopes, methodologies for calculating carbon footprints, and the various protocols that regulate emissions in different sectors.
The structure of the course includes:
– Video Lectures: Engaging and informative video content is the backbone of the module, offering students easy-to-understand explanations of complex carbon accounting norms.
Multiple-choice Quizzes (MCQs): These quizzes reinforce students’ understanding of the concepts taught in the videos. By using students’ knowledge at key intervals, learners can identify areas where they need further clarification.
– Assignments and Practical Applications: Students must complete assignments to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. These assignments cover a variety of industries, giving students a broader view of carbon accounting across different sectors.
The course aims to foster a deeper understanding of how carbon emissions are measured and managed, setting the stage for students to develop environmentally-conscious solutions in their future careers.
Empowering Students with Practical Carbon Accounting Skills
At the heart of the GHG Accounting module is its focus on practicality. In an era where the industrial world is expected to adhere to stringent climate regulations, future professionals need hands-on experience with carbon accounting tools and frameworks. The program equips students to understand carbon emissions and apply internationally recognized methodologies such as the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
By the end of the 30-hour module, students will be able to:
– Grasp key carbon accounting concepts, including Scopes 1, 2, and 3 emissions.
– Perform carbon footprint calculations for different industries.
– Understand the role of carbon offsetting and credits in reducing emissions.
Such skills are essential for any aspiring engineer or technologist, especially those looking to contribute meaningfully to manufacturing, transportation, energy, and infrastructure climate solutions.
Climatora’s Vision for Carbon Literacy
Climatora focuses on fostering climate literacy among the younger generation. This collaboration with MSSU is another step towards building a future workforce fully capable of tackling the environmental challenges posed by climate change. The organization’s mission is to create a new wave of professionals who are skilled in their respective fields but also understand the critical importance of sustainability.
During the orientation session, Climatora’s Managing Partners, Shailesh Amonkar and Debadutta UpadhyClimatora’sabout the growing demand for carbon literacy across industries. The global shift towards sustainability means that knowledge of GHG accounting is no longer just for environmental specialists—it is becoming a core skill for every engineer.
Shaping a Sustainable Future with Industry-Relevant Skills
Incorporating carbon literacy into the curriculum ensures that MSSU’s B.Tech students are well-prepared to face the environmental challenges of the modern world. The skills taught in the GHG Accounting module increase employability and enable students to make informed, impactful decisions in their future roles. With climate-conscious engineering becoming increasingly important in various industries, the module ensures that MSSU graduates are better equipped to integrate sustainability into their projects and innovations.
Dr Priyadarshini Karve, MD, Samuchit Enviro Tech and curator of the e-skill module, expressed her excitement about this value-added module. In today’s climate-conscious world, understanding carbon emissions and how to mitigate them is as crucial as technical engineering skills. This module offers learners a competitive edge, enabling them to become leaders in sustainable innovation. Dr Karve and her colleague Pournima Agarkar spearheaded the orientation sessions with active participation from the B.Tech batch students.
A Bright Future for Carbon Literate Engineers
The collaboration between MSSU and Climatora marks a pivotal moment in climate education for engineering students. As the world increasingly turns to sustainable solutions, there is a growing demand for technically skilled and environmentally conscious professionals. By integrating carbon literacy into its curriculum, MSSU ensures that its B.Tech graduates will be part of the solution rather than the problem of tackling climate change.
The GHG Accounting module empowers students with practical knowledge and insights, helping them understand the broader implications of their work in the global push towards a carbon-neutral future. As they embark on their journey through this course, students learn a skill and become part of a more significant movement to build a sustainable world.
