Course Overview

The Engineering Design for a Circular Economy certification course teaches how to develop innovative product designs to find solutions for a sustainable way of engineering. The reuse and recycling of materials will promote a circular economy that addresses material supply challenges by utilising resources for a longer duration and returning them for new use for the minimisation of waste. This program will teach you to design products that are meant to last longer and can be easily reached, repaired and remanufactured.

The goal of the Engineering Design for a Circular Economy certification by Edx is to promote innovative product designs in a way that creates value whilst securing supply chains by the integration of smart engineering and design practices. The Engineering Design for a Circular Economy online course draws knowledge from experts from leading European Universities and research organisations to impart education on sustainable strategies in product design.

The Engineering Design for a Circular Economy certification course course is suitable for participants with an interest in product design, innovative engineering, new business activities, entrepreneurship, sustainable development, etc. EdX provides two varied options to join the programme, namely, verified and free audit. In the free mode, the candidates can audit the course for a limited period of time.
