In response, we created and implemented a community engagementengineering module for our Codes and Regulations course. The module consisted of

Education, 2017 Engagement in Practice: Adding Service Learning to an Online Introduction to Engineering CourseA wide body of research shows increased student engagement and student retention from the useof high-impact practices such as learning communities, first-year experiences, undergraduateresearch, or service learning. However, many of these practices pose challenges on a virtualcollege campus or in an online classroom. This paper explores a case study where servicelearning projects were incorporated into two introductory engineering classes, one taught in atraditional face-to-face format and the other taught online. In this case study, the face-to-facestudents worked in small groups with a local historical

Moreover, providing clean water and restoring the nitrogen cycleare two of the fourteen National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges that futureengineers will need to act upon. Therefore, treating once-used water on-site to safe effluent-reusestandards—rather than using the water just once and flushing it back to an expensive, high-maintenance centralized treatment plant—has the potential to help address these challenges byrestoring the local water-nutrient cycle.With these considerations, during the spring of 2016 a capstone project at NortheasternUniversity was designed to task civil and environmental engineering students to providesolutions to those Engineering Grand
