research on the background of their project problemstatement and develop proposed solutions taking into consideration the social,environmental, and economic needs and policies in Brazil. They are required to writeand present a proposed detailed action plan to the company supervisor detailinginnovative ideas and designs for how the company can be more sustainable for theirassigned problem. Students validated the lessened environmental impact of theirdesigns by calculating reduction of fossil fuel use, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,and raw material consumption through material and energy balances. Thesecalculations directly correlate to the technical course content which provides real-worldexamples of how sustainability can be measured. They are

). Capstone at NortheasternUniversity is a project-based course where teams design a chemical process for a product orsystem with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social,environmental, and economic factors. All projects require applications of chemical engineeringcurriculum such as material and energy balances, kinetics, thermodynamics, and mass and heattransport and using the engineering design process to come up with a business plan, considermultiple designs, and come up with a final detailed design process. The design is validated withproof-of-concept data from a prototype, experiments, or simulation of the process to show thedesign is feasible and use that data to improve the design. Teams present
