Letters to a Young Engineer

"Go into yourself and see how deep the place is from which your life flows." Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet suggested how a poet, an artist, a craftsperson - a professional - should feel, love and live their lives. Letters to a Young Engineer provides a similar note of encouragement to recent engineering graduates. The world is changing fast, and engineers, like all professionals, are being called upon to learn, to lead, and to live with integrity and aptitude. Letters to a Young Engineer, typically published annually for graduation, provides about 70 letters offering advice to recent graduates from seasoned and hopeful practitioners (including several World Bank alumni). The book builds on the Rudyard Kipling's 'The Ritual Calling of an Engineer' with the first inaugural Iron Ring Ceremony held in Montreal, Canada April 25, 1925.
