Objectives

Purpose of the course
To conserve natural resources, the product's life cycle must continue. The circular economy as an economic model combines business with sustainable development. After completing this course, you have learned to recognize the reuse of materials and understand the economic benefits of reusing them. Your knowledge will evolve in the circular economy business models and their material flows, and you will be able to harness its potential. Your knowledge of the circular economy is growing. The course will give you a clear idea of ​​the circular economy and its boundary conditions. You can also apply what you have learned to practice.

Competences:
This course promotes and evaluates: Circular Economics, Communication and Teamwork (ability to effectively communicate information, ideas, problems, and solutions within the engineering community)

Learning outcomes:
You understand and internalize the principles of the circular economy and recognize its boundary conditions. You are capable of designing and managing material flows within the circular economy, collaborating with both internal and external members of the engineering community. Use this course to identify business opportunities in the circular economy. You will understand how to operate in a circular economy and will be able to apply what you have learned to practice.
