World Engineers Day is celebrated annually on September 15. The International Federation of Engineering Societies founded the day in 1985 to promote engineers’ contributions to society. Researchers in the Purdue University College of Engineering have left a lasting impact on society with their work, and they will continue to do so in the future. We’d like to share some innovations that we think will have a dramatic impact on society in the future.

In my estimation, the explosive growth in the software/electronics world in the last decade is largely because the barrier to entry has been lowered. For example, I learned a ton about subnetting, routing, and basic sysadmin stuff during high school, MOSTLY because it was accessible. The tools of that trade are open-source, and accessible to anyone with a PC made in the last 15 years. There's an insanely low cost to play the game. That's a huge part of why I learned it. It was an accessible challenge with clear application in today's world. On the contrary, machining and manufacturing have a pretty high barrier to entry. I was fortunate enough that a dear friend introduced me to manufacturing with a Bridgeport mill and a manual lathe and a Miller TIG welder in his garage. I was even more fortunate to continue that education surrounded by eager(/eccentric?) peers in Auburn's makerspace. Not everyone is that fortunate. Without those blessings, I'd have a much narrower skillset. And probably much less sense of my own calling as well. I really believe one of the most profitable things we could do as a society is to lower the barrier to entry for learning "making". High schools, universities, and public makerspace organizations have a civic responsibility to help make manufacturing accessible. I'd challenge many for-profit companies to take on some of that responsibility as well (and I'm happy to work somewhere that has a healthy dose of this ethos). Making these technologies accessible creates growth and options for people. It certainly did for me. Glad to see my alma mater taking another step in the right direction, and excited to see more organizations join in.
