As engineers we build and make things,
Iterate and sometimes break things,
Pour our souls into creations, forging something new
We seek out problems, break them down,
And chart a path through tangled ground,
With learning we light darkness, pushing forwards what we know
With science, math, design, delight,
And metal, plastic, bits and bytes,
We shape them into wonders never dreamed of, bold and true
We twist, and turn, and bend, and burn them,
In our labs like magic churn them,
Bringing them from nothing into treasures we bestow
We hope our work will represent,
The best humanity presents,
A mirror of the maker, shaped by purpose, skill, and care
For what we leave upon this earth,
Reflects of who we were, our worth,
Long after we have set our tools aside and gone to rest
So give yourself to what you build,
Let every gap be gladly filled,
With craft and curiosity and beauty planted there
Now go, create with heart and soul,
With wonder as your highest goal,
And know the world's brighter for the work you gave your best
