The Wind Rises is a masterpiece, and one I would especially recommend to any engineer. The protagonist loves planes. He loves their grace, their beauty, the way they soar through the sky. He spends his whole life trying to build a great plane and... succeeds, only to find his dream (and Japan) in ruins from WWII. It's a riveting exploration of the cost of mastery of your craft, made by a master of animation. Highly, highly recommend.
