Science and Engineering Fairs (Evaluation)Science and Engineering (S&E) fairs are a valuable educational activity that are believed toincrease students’ engagement and learning in science and engineering by using inquiry-focusedlearning, engaging students in authentic scientific practices and engineering design processes [1-3], and emphasizing creativity [4, 5]. Proponents also argue that S&E fairs enhance students’interest in science and science careers [6, 7] as well as engineering [2]. From the fair, studentsreport that they have learned more about the scientific process and engineering design, althoughthey may not all feel their attitudes towards STEM fields has improved [2, 8].

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

One principal reason for this faltering economy is the United States’ inability todevelop qualified science and engineering (S&E) human capital, in particular women andminorities. However, diversity in the S&E workforce has not improved over the last decade [2];and, given Hispanics aged 21 years and older represent 15% of the U.S. population, a mere 6%of the S&E workforce are Hispanic [2].The Bureau of Labor Statistics has projected that total employment in S&E jobs will increase at afaster rate (1.1% compound annual growth rate) from 2016 to 2026 than employment in
