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).

The World Health Organization [2]estimates that 2.2 billion people worldwide lack access to safely managed drinking waterservices. Over the years, this problem still exists in developing countries due to the expensivenature of conventional water treatment chemicals and the infrastructure requirements to sustaintreatment facilities.

It involves dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility. Not only will technology change quickly, the social-political-economic world in which engineers work will change continuously.

The lack of system redundancy and the unavailability of replacement components prolonged the outage durations at IIT. In 2005, the Galvin Electricity Initiative led a campaign to implement a perfect power system at IIT with the objective of establishing a micro grid that is environmentally friendly, fuel efficient, robust, and resilient, with self-healing capability. The micro grid at IIT would empower the campus consumers to control their daily power consumption, in response to the real- time price of electricity. The IIT micro grid

For example, several studies have looked at theeffects of a non-inclusive culture in engineering and how to make students, especially those fromunderrepresented groups, more resilient in this “chilly” environment 1-3. Additionally, researchsuggests that the degree to which the individual’s personality aligns with the dominant values ofthe environment they are in, such as an engineering program, the higher their likelihood forsatisfaction and success in that environment4. Some recent studies have begun to look at the engineering culture itself to see if, insteadof programs to help make students more resilient, there might be ways to
