Very interesting intervention about the need for many engineers to have a creative side if their innovations are going to be successful. This article is the source:

It is made clear that skills in the STEM subject are, of course, essential in this field where the UK has a major shortage, but an ability to show creativity or be interested in the creative world should enhance the attractiveness of a candidate for a university degree and, ultimately, their career.
It is nice to see an argument for a broad education being made by an expert in the Engineering field.
