Is engineering, science(physics, chemistry, or computer science) or medicine for students who are either dyslexic, dysgraphic, or just plain bad at essay writing since childhood until now but good at math?. Also, if you are good at math but have difficulty with essays since childhood, would this have an impact on your engineering career?. What about computer science?

Hello,



No, not any real "essay" writing in engineering school except maybe a mandatory freshman English class to make sure everyone knows how to write a report. You may also need to take a few humanities electives, history, philosophy, etc.. that may require a little writing but you can always ask around campus which prof doesn't use essays.



As far as the Engineering classes go, no writing except the infrequent report, along the lines of a chem lab or physics lab report, if you are familiar. Not too much.



Hope that helps. Good Luck with your decision.

When you get out into the real world your employers will expect you to be able to document what you want to do and to document how to accomplish that and to explain why something is worth doing.



If you suck at essays (which is what all that documentation they are asking for really is) then you will never get anywhere in an engineering career.

while you're no longer sturdy at essay writing, you will no longer make a sturdy scientist with the aid of fact scientists might desire to write papers on what they are interpreting. And while you're no longer sturdy at programming, you will by no ability be sturdy at pc technology, its all programming. it extremely is beneficial to adhere to a math significant, possibly you're able to get a coaching degree, even even though it is going to be complicated except you enhance your essay skills. i might advise going to Sylvan interpreting midsection or doing a sort of interpreting and write essays approximately what you have study over the summer season to attempt to advance this. i comprehend you in all probability do no longer like it, however the greater you study and write, the greater effective at it you would be. i do no longer understand something approximately engineering yet i might suspect which you will possibly desire to be waiting to place in writing for that, too, to describe what you're starting to be.
