These projects are focused onconnecting a team of motivated students with a client to develop a useful solution to their problem.The academic curriculum does not include many opportunities to connect classroom learning withpractical design prior to senior capstone projects. Providing students this opportunity not onlyhelps make the world a better place, but it also changes what it means to be an engineer, instillinga sense of global value into their work. The goal of this paper is to illustrate the entrepreneurialmindset that students develop through this program and to

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
