makerclub. There is growing interest in project-based learning (PBL), makerspaces and other relativelyopen-ended learning environments that afford many entry points and pathways into and throughengineering. Though often focused on engineering design and digital fabrication, these spacesoften support a range of activities and technologies, from laser cutting and 3D printing, toelectronics and e-textiles, to carpentry, sewing, painting and digital media, and so have thepotential to attract students who may not have yet identified an interest in engineering.Unlike more traditional curriculum, open-ended makerspaces elicit many sticking points andmoments of uncertainty which can serve as rich contexts for conceptual development anddisciplinary practice

This trend initially started with asenior design project that spun into a company which made use of microfluidic technology in anovel way.8 As word spread, a second student, who was not in engineering, asked to use the labto test out an idea, which also spun into a new company. She wished to design electronics tomeasure certain chemical reactions in biologics.9 During this time, we gained clarity onintellectual property rules for the university, and its application to both students and lab spacedesigned for educational use.
