Engineering is basically applied science, and many scientific areas require math. (You might also say, "by definition": if an area of work doesn't include lots of science and math, then it wouldn't be called "Engineering".)

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.
