3d blocks stacked on one another is called Tumbling blocks. The One Block Wonder Cubed book has them as Hollow tumbling blocks a very neat 3d effect

I know I am definitely attracted to these types of quilts of illusion but have no idea if an engineer would be. I would think so but don't know any I can ask.
Karen Combs Quilts of Illusion are very nice and very do-able. She has a website. Just do a search.

My best friend also loves the Bargello quilt that I have made.
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
You might take a look at Cherri House's books of quilts influenced by Urban Views and City Lights. Very modern, very clean, not too difficult ; )
People who start projects and never finish them are cooler
than people who never start projects at all.

I googled "Fabric with blueprints look" and there are many. As for the pattern, I don't know - aybe Disappearing 9-patch?

Never regret growing older, its a privilege denied to many.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

I would hazard a guess that graphic quilts containing an optical illusion would be appealing to most engineers. There are lots of examples if you google it.

Ask an Engineer. Oh wait, I am one.
You have some good suggestions here. Bargello is great, some intricate log cabins work well because the blocks can be used in so many many ways. The Illusions book is pretty good too. Tumbling blocks.. nice but it will get boring after awhile. Remember males like dark rich saturated colors, fall and winter themed.
Engineers like complex patterns with simple solutions. The best engineers love elegant solutions that require a minimum of work. It's how we think.

I'm not an engineer, but I'm fascinated by the Labyrinth Walk pattern.
I really like all the suggestions everyone is posting. It is giving me some great ideas on how I can come up with something that my son will both like and will be a tribute to his graduation from college.
