into engineering education inthe early 1990’s and has since been a staple in introductory courses. Although many studies havebeen conducted in relation to product dissection, research has not been systematic, leaving us toquestion how variations in product dissection impact learning, creativity, or both for studentswhen used in the classroom. To fill this gap, our research group has conducted numerous studiesover the last four years in order to systematically investigate variations in deployment of productdissection in an engineering classroom. Using the findings from these studies, we havedeveloped a virtual product dissection module and deployed it in an introductory engineeringcourse. We provide recommendations for the use of product

There is an opportunity to bring together the generous and the critical tosupport the design of more equitable university makerspaces.Different stakeholders within engineering education have different definitions of equitywhich are drawn from their lived experiences. The purpose of our framework is not to putforth a definition of equity we believe everyone should use, rather we believe the frameworkcan help us structure conversations on equity in makerspaces through a shared understanding.Against this backdrop, our research is informed by Vossoughi et al.’s definition

Another studystated, “first-generation college students include students whose parents may have some college,postsecondary certificate(s), or associate’s degree, but not a bachelor’s degree” and this definitionclosely aligns with the definition set forth by the Federal TRiO program (i.e., outreach and studentservice programs created to serve students from disadvantaged backgrounds) [9, p. 8]. There areinconsistencies and numerous ways in defining first-generation college students, so much so thatWhitley et al. [10] found at least six different definitions.
