It is important to teach future engineers to be creativeand flexible, along with being curious and imaginative.1Traditionally, many engineering majors will include an Introduction to Design course forfreshmen to give them an understanding of the engineering design process which includes one ormore projects that the students work on in teams. Additionally, many students take a Strength ofMaterials course (a.k.a. Mechanics of Materials) at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College in thesophomore or possibly junior year.

In the classroom, product dissection has become a popular pedagogyfor engaging engineering students given its “hands-on” nature. Product dissection introducesstudents to functional products and processes, and providing such experiences early in thestudents’ academic careers increases motivation and retention [12]. Product dissection can alsobe used to increase awareness of the design process [5], and such “learning by doing” activitiesencourage the development of curiosity, proficiency, and manual dexterity – three desirable traitsof an engineer [13
