ABSTRACT={This article aims to study the contribution of the "fablab" spirit in the transformation of an engineer’s job and in particular that of engineering general practitioner. By opening dynamics of co construction and communication between heterogeneous actors (scientists, engineers, citizens, workers), associating "do-it-yourself" [SEN 08] and "retroengineering" [BEN 12], these environments seem to be able to renew the steps of conception, and even the engineer’s work and culture. Within the framework of the current “innovation” paradigm, understood as a call "decompartmentalize", and break down the "barriers" (educational, disciplinary, territorial and managerial - between the educational spaces, research, industry, and the civil society), this example is viewed as emblematic of the challenges and difficulties faced by the kind of initiatives that can be raised, while being sometimes very concrete, whilst also remaining widely performative.}}
