Skills & Attributes
Imagination and creativity: you view engineering as a creative act, not only as a set of deterministic procedures to make scientific knowledge useful; imagination is more important than knowledge
Comfort with ambiguity: you develop and test directionally correct ideas but you are willing to be wrong and abandon when the technical feasibility or market does not support them
High agency: you are motivated to ideate but also create the structure to implement without being told exactly what to do or how
