As the Ellen MacArthur foundation suggests CE “Transitioning to a circulareconomy does not only amount to adjustments aimed at reducing the negative impacts of thelinear economy. Rather, it represents a systemic shift that builds long-term resilience, generatesbusiness and economic opportunities, and provides environmental and societal benefits” [1],(Fig. 1).

Many cited therelated nature of certain aspects of the disciplines (e.g., water resources, infrastructure) as abenefit, with some efficiencies to be gained in faculty, facility, and course utilization as a result.In addition, many said that they appreciated the incidental exposure that both civil andenvironmental engineers got even in the non-overlapping portions of each other’s fields. Acommon theme of the stated disadvantages to such an alignment was that such programs tendedto have less emphasis on chemistry and biology because the overall focus of the department waselsewhere.
