Letters to a Young Engineer

Letters to a Young Engineer is an annual collection of letters from practitioners, parents, and seasoned professionals to Canada's future engineers. 

Each year, more than two million engineering students graduate across the world. These new engineers will be called upon to develop new technologies and to build and service cities even larger than today’s. Their careers will be more turbulent, fast-paced and impactful than ever before.

"Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows."

Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
