solutions. Deeper understanding of material and energy
circularity in technical industrial sectors, and
familiarity with current developments in each sector.
Ability to consider evidence and identify potential
couplings of processes as regenerative or restorative
solutions towards enhanced circularity. Understand
future professional role of engineers in the circular
economy.
