Engineers,

I realize that writing isn't our forté, but it is important. We are responsible for writing reports. These get read by non-engineers, sometimes by government, education, or business leaders with a Ph.D. level education. They also get read by peers. This reflects on you as a professional and your employer as a business. You cannot rely on AutoCorrect to fix your lack of writing skills. If your writing skills are poor, PLEASE take a remedial technical writing course at a community college!!!!!

I'm going to start requiring writing samples with resumes prior to interviews. The amount of editing I do these days is ridiculous. And, I'm talking about high school level basics. Y'all have a college education!
