When describingMakers, other categories of identities are often invoked such as designers, scientists, engineers,entrepreneurs, and inventors.Instead of starting with physical materials or pedagogical strategies, we started with the end goalin mind: the formation of a Maker. If the aim of education is to form people who have certainskills, knowledge, and attitudes, then it would be useful to gain a deeper understanding of theyoung adults who already embrace them.The concept of identity has been explored extensively within the larger social science andeducational research communities as well as in engineering education (Kaplan & Flum, 2012;McLean & Pratt, 2006; Tonso, 2006).

A course in introductory statistics canforce students to attend to the concept of variation. Statistics can be defined as the science ofhow to collect, analyze, interpret and present data with the purpose of understanding variation ina system. A key objective of introductory engineering statistics is to have students recognizevariation is inevitable, and teach them skills to quantify the variation and make engineeringdecisions which account for it.
