My activities there are applications of water engineering to benefit people and communities. The research and service span three areas. The first is the use of inexpensive biochar for preserving environmental quality in developing communities by using it as an adsorbent for agrochemical pesticides and nutrients. Second is the use of marginal quality water for irrigation to profit agriculture and maintain soil health. The third is the use of water footprint and blue-gray-green water categories to better understand the water impacts of food waste and strategies for its reduction. In the world of engineering

In response to this and the recognized value of creative problem solvingtechniques required for innovation, many engineering educators have begun developing practicalmethods to incorporate assignments that encourage creativity into the curriculum and individualclasses while still emphasizing engineering fundamentals.Traditionally, engineering courses are structured in a deductive manner which begins withinstruction on theories and progresses towards application of those theories.

All these skills are very important but in many cases the knowledgegained in this way happens to be quickly forgotten, especially if it is not brought tocomparison with every day life. Such teaching practices can result in the fact that too manystudents tend to consider Chemistry as a possibly interesting subject, but of almost noconnection with their general education.The underlining idea of this work is that these shortcomings can

because culture influences what constitutesintelligence and intelligent acts [9, 10]. Indeed, conceptions of “smartness” in school often caterto analytical abilities, while ignoring other types of intelligence, such as creative or practicalabilities [11]. This emphasis on analytical abilities is magnified even further in engineeringschool, where math and engineering science dominate the curriculum. This cultural norm ofvaluing analytical intelligence above all else reflects white, middle class constructions ofintelligence. This reality contributes to the exclusionary narratives about who belongs inengineering as the qualities that are revered in academia (e.g., brilliance, rigor, seriousness,rationality, objectivity, etc.) are all traditionally

Mathematica, frequently employed to teach a variety of topics, is used to parallel and illustrate the formal development of equations in a manner consistent with the textbook. Mathematica lends itself to this purpose, as its syntax is not unlike that found in textbooks.

MotivationThe impact of traditional engineering education on the divergent thinking and creative potentialof future engineers has been a concern for many scholars over the years. Divergent thinking isthe creative process involved in exploring many possible solutions, whereas convergent thinkinginvolves using logical validity to find a single, correct answer to a problem. Although divergentand convergent thinking are required for innovative solutions in engineering design, many arguethat typical engineering curriculum has significant deficiencies in enhancing divergent thinkingcapabilities of students. Creative production is often correlated to divergent thinking to producemany different ideas; hence, for the engineering education domain, design

These quality systems and their successors, QS9000 and ISO 9000, becamemodels for ABET's EC2000 criteria in 1997, as ABET changed from its 70-year practice ofmeasuring inputs to measuring outputs. The key to a successful continuous improvement processis to link outcomes with root causes, and this linkage is not always
