ofcourse concepts). Other cases were assigned as homework (weeks-long)–with case-basedproblems replacing additional problems on a problem set-–and as a final design project (1 monthlong). By placing students as the decision-makers in the story, students are forced to considertheir engineering decisions holistically, leveraging their sustainability awareness and ability toevaluate impact to determine how to take action. This is demonstrated most in a final designproject, where students design and evaluate a proposed engineering project and give an up ordown decision. In past years, topics for the final project have included evaluation of greenhydrogen and carbon sequestration projects.Chemical Process Design Capstone (Northeastern University

Our project leverages a course structure called‘engineering clinics’, which are modified versions of capstone design experiences. Within clinics,third and fourth-year students engage in team-based projects with faculty or industry mentors. Theten students in our clinic were split into three teams and tasked with 1) surveying existing softrobotics designs and applications, 2) creating a soft robot prototype, and 3) designing a learningactivity around their prototype.

The proposal to develop the Concept Hybrid Rocket Demonstrator(CHRD) into the high temperature materials testbed was conceived of as a unique opportunity to engagestudents in engineering activities beyond what is possible to accomplish in a typical two semester, sixcredit hour capstone project. Members of the Mechanical Engineering faculty as well as themanagement team at Miller Advanced Research and Solutions Center (MARS) recognized that a muchmore immersive student experience than what is possible in the standard capstone curriculum, waspossible in the development of the experimental testbed.

However, building a new space on campus requiresinstitutional support and a funding source. The College President and College Advancementoffice began raising funds to design and build an addition to the existing science center. Theseefforts culminated in the construction in 2017 of a joint Engineering and Biomedical SciencesHall, which included a dedicated engineering laboratory, an engineering computation lab, amodern teaching classroom, three faculty offices, and two “project labs” intended to provideworkspace for Engineering and Integrated Science design, research, and capstone projects.However, shortly after construction was
