method used in some developing nations is to filter water through a ceramicwater filter (CWF). One of the more common shapes for this type of filter is a frustum. Withenough time, gravity will cause the water to flow through the porous material. This allows thefrustum to act as a filter for the water which collects in a container beneath the frustum. Thegreater the depth of water, the faster the water will filter through the frustum. However, as thewater level lowers, the filtration rate decreases. In addition to this, the study done by Bielefeldtet al. [1] states that a CWF will only catch particles greater than approximately 1 µm. Whilethis can eliminate most harmful substances, it may not be able to remove viruses due to theirsmall size.CWFs

To better emphasize that necessary professional skills, especially teamwork, the Penn State Chemical Engineering capstone design course was redesigned for the 2017-2018 academic year.

The two major concerns reported by students are:(1) limited access to the assessment and corresponding learning opportunities post-assessment,and (2) the lack of partial credit given for correct solution procedures with incorrect final answers.To address these concerns from students, a
