Abstract	The automated water filtration design challenge integrates computer programming and basic electronics concepts through the SIMILAR systems engineering design process. The SIMILAR systems design process is to state the problem, investigate alternatives, model the system, integrate the system, launch the system, assess performance, and reevaluate (SIMILAR). The modeling, integration, and launching steps of the design process require specific skill sets related to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts. These concepts are significant when addressing the various national standards related to "Standards for Technological Literacy" ("STL"), "Next Generation Science Standards" ("NGSS"), Common Core State Standards (CCSS), and The K-12 Computer Science Framework. The integration of these concepts reinforces how they can be utilized together to increase the understanding of systems and systems design. This article describes how an automated water filtration design challenge can be used as an interdisciplinary approach to solve a real-world problem while addressing various national standards and frameworks.
