No. It's a dastardly lie. Who told you that ? Either he didn't know what
he was talking about, or else he was deliberately trying to mislead you.
I became an engineer because I was good at sums, hating writing, and did not like the idea of spending my whole working life trapped indoors, shuffling papers, and shuffling from office to office with a piece of paper in my hands.
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!
APA style is certainly a good choice for most appropriate in technical writing (I am an engineer and that is the style I had to use). It will depend on the requirements of the person or institution that will be the final authority on what style is required for your work.
May be both? what do you think?
No, it's not true, lots of engineers are very good with mathematics, physics and their engineering but they cannot write a good paper for their life.
Good is a relative term. Any job requires relatively good writing. If you feel you need improvement, just practice.
Not necessarily, good writing skills are a bonus for being promoted to management and getting bonuses, however, it's not a requirement because for one thing, engineers are not good at writing papers and secondly, they only know numbers and don't know how to explain it in a way that the client understands.
No, don't see how that relates so strongly to the job
Engineering is generally a problem solving profession with math skills. To become a professional engineer, though, the advancement in the field may require writing skills.
You can be anything if you just believe. Unles you cant write papers...Then you can be a computer technician. Sorry bro.
No, many engineers are not good at writing papers. But they are more valuable to their employers if they can write reasonably well. In general, engineers are not that good at writing papers.( They even have issues with handwriting.
Although most competitive exams have been made objective and do not require writing papers, any engineer will be more effective, and more valuable as an employee or consultant, if he or she is able to write reasonably well. Engineers need to communicate. This is often done in writing. The better you are at writing, the better you can perform your engineering functions. If you are not now able to write reasonably well, you can take courses that will help you learn to write better.
You need not be ashamed, but why do you simply accept that you are not as good at writing papers? Can you not learn to do better at that as well?You need not be ashamed, but why do you simply accept that you are not as good at writing papers?

many others view and consider your arguments and you must write clearly and succintly not only for others but to organize your thoughts
Yes they are
It depend on the kind of engineering course/program you will be taking. Some seek Math and mostly Sciences like Mechanical engineering whiles others require less but at the way round all engineers are required to articulate what they calculate on papers into writing. So I suggest you start doing some writing because it might help you down the road in your career.
In my opinion, it is not TRUE. Engineering courses have more Math subjects than English or Communication subjects. So if you're good in Math, you will be a good engineer someday.
