JoinIntegration, Authenticity, and Relevancy in College Science Through Engineering Design
An engineering design problem-solving framework was used to create a general chemistry lab activity focused on an important environmental issue—dead zones.
Dead zones impact over 400 locations around the world and are a result of nutrient pollution, one of the most logistically and economically challenging environmental problems facing our world today. The activities created were found to aid student
learning and improve student attitudes toward science and research.
