Using problem-based learning to engage engineering students in circular economy
Résumé
In this paper, we explored a design methodology for teaching circular economy concepts to 52 engineering students in a French higher institution. Considering the collaboration between fashion and sports industries, students explored disassembly solutions for diving masks and swimming goggles in order to use the material for recycling or recuperate spare parts for repair strategies. The methodology was based on the Double Diamond
diagram for innovation, starting from a general problem to get to a specific solution. Deliverables include machinery and tool prototypes, as well as service design. Finally, students evaluated the course, presenting promising results regarding support materials, interest in the course and comprehension of circular economy.
