Overview
This two-part micro-credential program, jointly hosted by UBC’s Materials and Manufacturing Research Institute (MMRI) and School of Engineering (SOE), aims to establish a world-class educational and applied research model, for advancing the circular economy in Canada and beyond. Learners will be introduced to the fundamentals of the circular economy including business models and associated value propositions, as well as tools and methods to investigate and design circularization strategies applied to their own workplace. Learners will bring a case study from their place of work, to which the provided tools and methods will be applied, culminating in an end-of-program presentation.
