, purity, and throughput of the system (Figure 1D).These are the same metrics used by engineers working on this technology and are important toinclude as it gives the teams exposure to not only collecting data but manipulating the data tocharacterize the performance of their system. Throughout this lecture we continually integratedthe concept of the engineering design process starting with identifying the problem followed bydesigning, creating, testing, and improving their technology. This was important because mosthigh school students had no exposure to the design process and this activity served as their firstopportunity to learn about what engineers do daily. The students had the remainder of time in day2 after the lecture and all of day 3 to
