Relativity is not a thing your nominal engineer ever needs. Some engineers have a curiosity that drives them to find out what they can about the topic. Some read all the popular books and still have little 'handles' on it. Most just ignore it, unless their work somehow requires it.
There are a few engineering environments where relativity plays an important role. I can think of GPS systems designs, particle accelerators and perhaps some advanced optical systems design, especially for astronomy.
Which others are there?
