This comprehensive course provides engineers with in-depth knowledge and practical skills to integrate circular economy principles into engineering practices. Participants will learn to reimagine engineering solutions that minimise waste, optimise resource use, and create value throughout the lifecycle of products and systems.

Course Structure:

1. Conceptual Foundation: Core principles, frameworks, and essential concepts of circular economy
2. Practical Application: Real-world case studies and scenarios demonstrating effective implementation

3. Integration and Strategy: Skills for embedding circular economy principles into engineering practices, decision-making, and company culture

    

Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the course, participants will:

• Understand core concepts like the value hill and R-ladder
• Navigate relevant regulations and standards influencing circular practices in engineering
• Analyze interconnected systems and develop holistic strategies
• Discover real-world CE applications across various engineering disciplines

• Learn about design for disassembly, modularity, and the use of sustainable materials

   

Target Audience:

• Engineering managers and executives
• Graduate Engineers
• Discipline Engineers (Civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical)
• Product designers and developers

The course covers:

• Fundamentals of Circular Engineering
• Regulatory landscape influencing circular practices in engineering
• Systems thinking for optimising resource use and minimizing environmental impact
• Practical applications of CE across various engineering disciplines
• Circular design principles, including design for disassembly, modularity, and sustainable materials

This course offers a unique blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, empowering engineers to drive positive change towards a sustainable and circular future across various engineering disciplines. It provides actionable strategies that can be immediately implemented in professional roles.

Engineering background is required, however no prior knowledge of circularity is required. The program caters to individuals at various levels of familiarity with the circular economy
