becoming more and more competitive, engineeringdegrees are often required in technological fields. The fact that one is an engineer holds weightin today’s tech-based society.Another Maker sees engineers in a different light, An engineer is kind of specific in its output.This is noted as specialized where the term “making” is rather ambiguous. The same Makercontinues on to say: If I called myself an engineer I would expect myself to be an electrical engineer or a civil engineer and figuring out those particular problems and that particular skill set.The Maker who discussed Making as a professional tag continues, when asked about engineersin the workplace: people in professional engineering firms, and by professional

As we conclude the second year of this five-year project, we used both synthesis andempirical studies to examine engineering students’ views of innovation and abilities to innovateas well as educators’ ability to teach and assess the development of these abilities. Our researchso far has identified a critical problem. Innovativeness, though an essential attribute needed forengineers, is not one that resonates with the engineering
