According to Schön ‘s depiction of expert designers, this type of reflection on thescope of the chosen solution is crucial. Engineers learn from reflection as they design,incorporating facets of their earlier process as well as predicting outcomes of possible nextsteps.14,28 Designers must recognize what information and

Page 14.525.3Theoretical FrameworkThe recent national emphasis on the design, development, and implementation of K-12engineering education curricula has increased interest in assessing students’ knowledge ofengineering. Many adults and students in the US have deficient understandings of engineers andwhat engineers do1. In addition, engineering is among the least gender equitable professions witha workforce that is only 11% female2. Researchers have argued that the cause for such adiscrepancy has

This challenge not only is limited to the discipline of science but also introduceshow technology merges with it. The marriage of technology and science is not a new endeavorbut one that has been outlined in reform documents since the late 1980’s. It was through thesereform initiatives that science educators have developed curriculums to shape the future ofscience education. The first reform document to appear in 1989, Science for All Americans: Project 2061(SFAA) [1] recommends a way of “thinking that is essential for all citizens in a world shaped byscience and technology.” This long-range, multi-phase

It appears that the unintentional segregation of the composite membrane enhancesperformance and has induced a shift in the project focus towards the understanding of theperformance enhancement and optimization.
