This is my new answer for the VERY important engineering skill that is not talked about enough. The reason is simple. Your job as an engineer is not DONE until you give the product of your work to someone else. That is, you have to
communicate with others in a way that they understand what it is you did. Paper for research, Drawings and manufacturing methods for designs, Presentations and discussions for design reviews. Technical descriptions, process plans, detail drawings, Powerpoint presentations to introduce and describe ideas. These are all part of my daily life as a mechanical design engineer.
