教学大纲

Module 1: Introduction to the Circular Economy

In this module, we will investigate how the circular economy is defined, how it deviates from the current so-called "linear" system and how it relates to other sustainable schools of thought. At the end of this module, we hope you will have learned the main principles of the circular economy and the reasons to invest in a transition towards a circular economy.

Module 2: Circular Systems Engineering

In this module, we will introduce you to the concept of systems thinking. A systematic approach to problems and situations is necessary when dealing with complex systems. In addition to implementing this way of thinking, engineering solutions are also needed when closing cycles. At the end of this module, you will know how to apply systems thinking when analysing and transitioning to circularity, and have learned some interesting examples of engineering solutions.

Module 3: Transition Management

In this module, we will discuss how circular changes come about within companies and society. What is needed for businesses to successfully transition towards circularity? What are some useful skills you can develop yourself to help transform industries and your own environment?

Module 4: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

In this module, you will learn about the strengths and weaknesses of LCA, and how it can be used to quantify the environmental impact of circular products. After completion of this module, you’ll understand the principles of LCA and know what questions LCA can answer.

Module 5: Agent Based Modelling (ABM)

Agent Based Modelling is a tool that can be very useful when researching circular economy situations. In this module, you will learn what ABM is, how it works and when it can be applied. You don’t have to learn how to program code yourself – but if you want to, you can.

Module 6: Case

The last module contains a case study, in which you will apply everything you have learnt so far.

先决条件

To optimally learn in/from and complete the complete MicroMasters Program we expect you to have a bachelor degree in social sciences (preferably business-, or economics). However, there is no formal entry level requirement for this MOOC.

瓦赫宁格大学位于荷兰的瓦赫宁格市。其校园位于市郊,这使其能够对其校舍进行多次扩建,由于其科学性质,所有校舍都已经是超现代化的。该大学侧重于生命科学、社会学、商业关系和自然资源。

其中,阿尔特拉研究所(Alterra Institute)是对人工和人造环境(农村环境、城市生态学、绿地、绿网)进行多学科研究的机构。

平台

EdX est une plateforme d'apprentissage en ligne (dite FLOT ou MOOC). Elle héberge et met gratuitement à disposition des cours en ligne de niveau universitaire à travers le monde entier. Elle mène également des recherches sur l'apprentissage en ligne et la façon dont les utilisateurs utilisent celle-ci. Elle est à but non lucratif et la plateforme utilise un logiciel open source.

EdX a été fondée par le Massachusetts Institute of Technology et par l'université Harvard en mai 2012. En 2014, environ 50 écoles, associations et organisations internationales offrent ou projettent d'offrir des cours sur EdX. En juillet 2014, elle avait plus de 2,5 millions d'utilisateurs suivant plus de 200 cours en ligne.

Les deux universités américaines qui financent la plateforme ont investi 60 millions USD dans son développement. La plateforme France Université Numérique utilise la technologie openedX, supportée par Google.
