Overview
What you will learn
After passing the Circular Economy for Materials Processing course offered by KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the student should be able to:
- Explain the different principles of circular economy and apply them to different materials.
- Explain how properties of different processes and different materials contribute to a circular economy. For higher grades it is necessary to demonstrate the ability to question and analyze the constraints and challenges in the connection between different processes, materials and circular economics.
- Holistically analyze how changes in processes and / or materials composition affect sustainability goals and the conditions for a circular economy. A holistic perspective includes technical, organizational as well as society's perspective. For higher grades, the student is required to adapt the holistic analysis to the context of the problem.
- Demonstrate the ability to independently solve problems, as well as the ability to present the solution orally and in writing.
