Title:
Design Thinking for a Circular Economy – An interdisciplinary, problem-based learning seminar

Credits: 5

Prerequisites
Starting 2. Semester

Contents
The interdisciplinary and problem-oriented seminar provides content on the basics of sustainability management in research and practice. After an interactive introduction to the topic of Circular Economy, students will work together in project teams of approximately five members. Together they will develop an innovative solution for product take-back schemes following the design thinking process. Based on the initial desk research, students conduct qualitative interviews and independently apply the iterative design thinking process to their Circular Economy challenge. In addition to problem-solving skills and topic-specific knowledge, students learn teamwork, feedback, and error culture in the seminar and gain experience in qualitative research. Throughout the whole process, input from experts (e.g., on the topic of creativity techniques or practical insights into Circular Economy) strengthens the interdisciplinary and practical approach of the seminar. A midterm presentation gives the students the opportunity to receive feedback and iterate on their ideas. At the end of the seminar, there will be a final presentation and students prepare a documentation of their learning journey.
