Another might be 'Snow Crash'. The protagonist in this novel often has to use his wits and what could be considered engineering - like thinking to navigate the virtual and real worlds. It has elements of technology and innovation that an engineer might appreciate.
One could be 'The Martian' where the main character uses his engineering skills to survive on Mars. It shows great problem - solving and engineering feats.
One such novel could be 'The Martian' where the main character, Mark Watney, is like an engineer extraordinaire stranded on Mars. He uses his engineering skills to survive against all odds. He figures out how to grow food, generate water, and communicate with Earth, all with limited resources. It's a great read for those interested in seeing engineering in a high - stakes, extreme situation.
Well, if you like the concept of 'world's strongest troll novel', you might enjoy 'The Crying of Lot 49' by Thomas Pynchon. It has a rather convoluted plot that keeps the reader guessing and can be seen as trolling in its own way. 'Slaughterhouse - Five' by Kurt Vonnegut also has elements of subverting the expected narrative. It jumps around in time and presents a very different view of war and life. And 'I'm Thinking of Ending Things' by Iain Reid has a very mind - boggling ending that can be considered a form of trolling the reader's assumptions.
It could be the character development of the engineer in the story. If the engineer is well - written, readers can really get into their mindset and see how they approach problems. For example, if the engineer has to build something from scratch in a difficult situation, seeing their thought process can be really engaging. Also, it might be special because of the world - building. If it's set in a fictional world, the engineering aspects could be what makes that world function in an interesting way.

There's 'SOTUS: The Series' as well. It shares some similarities in terms of exploring relationships within an academic or professional setting like 'My Engineer The Series'. The story delves into the bond between seniors and juniors, with a touch of romance and personal growth.
A third option might be 'Lord of the Flies'. It shows how a group of boys are in a situation where they are, in a sense, against the world they've been thrust into on the island, and they have to deal with internal and external struggles.

I'm not sure which specific 'My Father's Best Friend' novel you are referring to. There are many novels with diverse themes. However, some novels about family relationships and friendships might be similar, like 'To Kill a Mockingbird' which also delves deep into relationships within a community and family.
One is 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy. It has a desolate post - apocalyptic setting and a father - son relationship at its core that is both heart - breaking and inspiring.
