CCS0’s activities aredesigned to provide analytical challenges typical of STEM professions and to motivate additionalinquiry. It exploits programmed systems’ lenience at manipulating computation to providestudents with a review of foundational mathematical concepts in the context of graphicalmanipulation such as such as the use of nested for-range statements to enumerate the coordinatesof pixels within geometric objects.

developed commercially, however, itreceived a significant boost in the late 1990’s when carbon aerogel (CA) – invented about adecade earlier – was proposed to be used as ion absorber in a CDI cell. In general, CDI isdeemed very efficient in many aspects – perhaps most important of which is its low energy use.In addition, a CDI system does not require high water pressure and it can be implementedwithout any membranes. These characteristics make CDI much more suitable for small-scalesystem implementation, which is relatively inexpensive to manufacture and maintain, facilitatingaccess to water purification in remote and/or poor areas. This is of increasing importance due toa number of factors: Earth’s population growth, which places unprecedented

Studies going back as far as 1959 have identified engineering creativity as a vitalcontributor to industry competitiveness and the national welfare. 1 A preponderance of literaturepublished in the past five years points to a lack of soft skills, including creative innovation, asfactors in declining global competitiveness. 2,3,4,5 At the root of this problem is a deeplyentrenched educational paradigm that does not encourage creative thinkers.This innovation was possible because there were people that not only understood engineeringprinciples; they also knew how to apply them in ways that satisfied a human need.

Not all misconceptions involvedadding or removing the same atom, but because these were similar misconceptions, hinting at anemergent theme, they were grouped into one category referencing extra or missing atom(s). Eachstudent conception was then assigned categories based on these emergent themes. This processcontinued for each student response to each question on each Topical Module Assessment.
