 +The European Project Semester (EPS) is an innovative engineering capstone project semester. Currently, the programme is offered by 20 European universities, including the Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto (ISEP). EPS employs a learning framework based on real-world challenges, interdisciplinary projects, and multicultural and multidisciplinary teamwork. Teams are required to design solutions based on market and state-of-the-art analyses, adhere to ethical and sustainability principles, and develop and test a proof-of-concept prototype. In the spring of 2025, an EPS@ISEP team decided to address the issue of domestic water waste.  The most apparent waste occurs when users turn on the tap and wait for the water to heat up, sending clean water down the drain. The designed solution eliminates this waste by redirecting water below the temperature set by the user from the shower to an additional toilet water tank. AzuLoop consists of a smart shower mixer, a water tank that adapts to existing toilet water tanks, and a few additional pipes. AzuLoop is easy to install, provides a comfortable shower experience, and reuses the clean cold shower water. 
 +During the semester, the team successfully designed, developed, and tested the AzuLoop prototype, while gaining valuable technical and personal skills through collaborative learning
