i think it is indeed true that English-the language of the world -is very important to engineering students's future career.
one of the misconceptions is that engineering students do not need as much proficiency in English language as those students from Arts or business. Initially, I actually had this misconception as well. However, through the course of the study, i gradually realise that English language is very significant to engineering students' academic studies . In the future, we may work together with different people from all over the world. Thus, it is very crucial to make our ideas or perspectives clear to others, especially during the design processes.
Therefore, by realising the importance of English language, not only for academic studies and prospective career, but also for daily communications, we should continue to put in effort to improve our language skills.
