In my opinion a second referendum would be a betrayal of democracy. The question was simple in or out. Those who voted out had a variety of reasons; I voted out because I saw it as the last opportunity to re-establish democratic principles in this country. The EU has long failed to demonstrate any acceptance of democracy unless the voting has gone its way. David Cameron's negotiations were a complete joke. If there was a second referendum, and if it did reverse the vote then I would never bother voting in any political election again - what would be the point? As for making our European neighbours feel welcome - there is nothing to stop that, just as there wasn't before the advent of the EU - but why just European neighbours? Sadly the EU is a corrupt elitist organisation that seeks to control the will of the people; if it were open and democratic then it would have been a different story and there probably wouldn't have been a referendum. One other thing; please don't assume all engineers are pro EU as some seem to believe!
