[Themaintainers] What Do Engineers Do All Day?: Innovation, Maintenance, and Everyday Engineering

[lee vinsel]

Hey, everybody.

I was happy to learn a few weeks ago that a project I proposed with some
Virginia Tech Engineering Education colleagues was funded by a center here.
The project will examine the kinds of occupational roles engineering
graduates end up in - in part to drive home the point that most engineers
are operators/maintainers and very few fall categories of
invention/innovation/or even design. I wrote a blog post because I thought
some people might interested and hopefully to encourage more research in
the space.

The post includes a link to an extract from the proposal just in case some
people want to go deeper on the project.

Best,

Lee
