Abstract
A number of contemporary engineers who have authored books of poetry, award-winning short fiction, highly-acclaimed creative non-fiction, and best-selling novels are introduced. Their thoughts on engineering, engineering education, the engineering workplace and technical and creative writing are presented. Implications for engineering education and creativity are discussed.
