Cover Story: The objective of this research is to analyze the viability of applying circular economy techniques in the design and development of products through project-based learning in industrial engineering. A survey was carried out between 2015 and 2019 on final year students of industrial engineering in Spain corresponding to five different academic years. The implementation of circular economy strategies in the design and development of products through collaborative projects allows the acquisition of knowledge on different subjects: eco-design, product planning and distribution, reuse, recycling, etc. Moreover, most of the students considered that the circular economy should be a complementary discipline and transversal competence. Teaching circular economy can contribute to development of the teaching of sustainable development objectives, in particular, SDG12. View this paper.
