You do not necessarily have to be good at writing to be good at something else. Eventually, however, you will very likely be expected to explain something you've done to someone who doesn't understand the field, and being bad at writing will make such explanations a challenge. The best way to improve your writing skills is to A) take more writing courses than are required for graduation, and B) write as much as possible - essays, papers, articles, etc. Never resign yourself to being a bad writer. If you think or know you are, do what is necessary to remedy the situation.

How hard is engineering and science for students who are good at math but bad at essay writing?

Not very, engineers are good at doing things, not explaining things, if they were good at writing papers, they would be managers, but at that time, they would write more and do less in the field. Math is the more important subject at hand, not writing.


What are the chances of dyslexic or dysgraphic people into engineering?

Very high, most engineers are not good at writing anyway, they are only good at the math and the numerical and logical processes.


Is engineering for people who are good at math but bad at essay writing?

Actually engineering is for people that are good at engineering. There are people who are very good at math but would be terrible engineers. There are many kinds of engineers but all engineers have to deal with the real world. Most of them work for companies that expect to make a profit. Most successful engineers find themselves in middle management before long . Many engineers use very little higher math once they go to work. Math for engineers is only a tool for solving problems and it is not the only tool. Most problems are solved by applying what has worked before.

Is it normal for you to be good at math but a really bad writer in engineering?

The desirable condition is that you have both skills. Use Grammarly.com to improve your writings.A bit more:To address your question, this is actually quite common. Many people are excellent in math, yet don't have good writing skills, just as many people do poorly in math, yet do very well in writing. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, and being good in math and not good at writing does not make you abnormal or less intelligent. But there are ways, as the above answer states, to improve your writing.


Can you be an engineer if you are good at math but a bad writer?

It is not at all abnormal for an engineer to be good at math but bad at writing because one who is good at math tends to do problems in his own less time consuming way. In this process he deviates from his good writing skills (if he has any), to reach the solution However it is extraordinary for an engineer to be both good at math and writing and abnormal for being bad at both!

This makes no sense. Engineers know math.


Is engineering for people who are good at math but bad at writing essays or papers?

Being pretty good at math is almost always a prerequisite skill for becoming an engineer, but it is hardly the only one. Beyond being good at math, engineers have to have strong problem solving skills. Eventually most engineers also find themselves promoted to management positions where people skills, budgeting, and organization become critical. As far as writing skills are concerned - sorry to tell you but good engineers also have to be very good at technical writing. While it may seem like essays and papers are not the same as technical writing, most of the skills of persuasion and analysis that are critical to writing essays and other papers are also necessary elements of technical writing. Most engineers spend a large fraction of their time writing reports - to document their work, to explain it to upper management, convince others of the accuracy of their work, convince others of a course of action based on the work they have done, and to justify expenditures or justify investments in facilities, repairs, new acquisitions, new construction, etc. My experience as an engineer is that I spent about a third of my time doing "engineering" a third of my time writing reports, and a third of my time attending meetings - including presenting the content of my written reports. Bottom line - you need to have BOTH good math AND writing skills to become a good engineer.


How could one be good at math but bad at writing essays?

YES. Usually, if you are good at Math, you are not as good at writing because there are many options and creative decisions. In Math there is just ONE correct answer, and that answer only.
