I found in engineering school that most engineers (not all) can’t write very well. When we had a group project, I got out of a LOT of work because I would be the one to organize the data and write the report.
I have been told that I am unusual because before I design something, I often do an artistic drawing of it, then an engineering sketch with dimensions to send to a CADD operator. Younger engineers would just do the CADD themselves.
It is always interesting to see how close my artistic rendering came to what was eventually built. Usually pretty close.
