Brief Aside:
Communication skills are CRITICAL for engineers. If you cannot communicate an idea effectively, the idea is worthless. If you cannot be persuasive and effectively argue for your ideas virtues, it may be overlooked.
I find it unacceptable for engineers to pull the "I'm an engineer, I don't need to know how to speak" card. I know many engineers, but I've yet to meet one who hasn't had to communicate effectively.
It is interesting to note, FIRST has a number of awards which center on effective communication. Hmmm...
