Making in the 21st Century [Guest editor´s introduction]

In this special issue, we peer into the Maker Movement and explore its potential impact on engineering and technology. This issue is broken into three sections. In the first, ???The World of Making,??? we asked our contributors to tell us about why they make. In the second, ???Passionate Projects: This Is What I Made,??? we asked each maker to tell us about what they made in 2014 and what it meant. And in the third section, ???The Future of Making,??? we asked our contributors to tell us about why making is important and where it might lead us.
