Do engineers write papers essays or reports for a living?

Answer 1

No, in fact, they're terrible in it because they only know the numbers, they have a much more difficult time conveying their information to the audience who are non-engineers and who don't use "techno-speak" in their speech. They even have difficulty with handwriting, causing the paper to be illegible. That's why most companies have technical writers, because engineers who write the papers alone are at risk of putting the companies in bankruptcy.
