In fact, some engineering disciplines such as systems engineering and project engineering, communication is equally important to strong technical skills. Most engineering universities and colleges will have a lot of math and science courses as part of their curriculum, but as long as you are willing to learn and understand those subjects, that is more important than being a math and/or science wizard!
