An engineer is a special kind of person,
Who makes things work with skills so certain,
They design and build things that we need,
Like bridges, buildings, and planes that speed.

They work in companies big and small,
Using tools and machines to solve it all,
With lines and shapes, they create designs,
And make sure everything aligns just fine.

Some engineers travel overseas,
To help build things with expertise,
They work in teams with others there,
To build great things with extra care.

So if you want to be an engineer,
It takes hard work and knowledge, my dear,
But if you love engineering so,
You can make great things that will glow.
