AnalysisThe objective of the second assignment was to apply basic engineering principles of problemdefinition to their system of choice. The assignment goals were to define a system process andrelated variables and identify gaps in the knowledge through a Degrees of Freedom analysis.Students were required to: 1. Sketch your Chesapeake Bay system. 2. Define processes (splitting, mixing, reactions, etc.) and show the streams entering and exiting your process(es). 3. Define and show the variables associated with your processes. 4. Set up a Degrees Of Freedom (DOF) analysis of your system. Determine the variable(s) you will need to calculate (solve for). 5. Determine how many variables will you need to define through research in order

and OutreachAfter the conclusion of the capstone, the first opportunity to use the system in outreach/researchwas within the Young Scholar Program (YSP), a very successful program lead by the Center forSTEM Education at Northeastern University. The YSP is a 6-week summer program that offersfuture scientists and engineers a unique opportunity for a hands-on research experience whilestill in high school. The program is open to local applicants who have completed their junior yearof high school (i.e. rising seniors). Over the summer of 2016, two rising seniors were assignedto work under the guidance of the PI(s) on a research project related to water reuse. The studentswere also asked to review the content of the website and create additional

analysis. The students generallyperformed well in the overall class and the group project (e.g., the majority of the class obtaineda 70% grade or higher in the course). Future versions of this course could improve students’understanding of LCA software by introducing software earlier in the curriculum or including alaboratory component to the class. Lastly, this class provides skills that could be applied to asenior capstone course, which could enhance the student design experience in future semesters.References 1.
