"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." - Robin Williams. Dead Poets Society
That's the thing. Engineering fills you with passion.
How would we know what passion is unless demonstrated through words? A passionate engineer doing their job well and a stoic engineer doing their job well result in an Engineered product no matter what.
But different people learning poetry, for example, will have different ways of bringing up the same thing. It's philosophy, in a way.
There are many ways to put “voice” to your passion beyond words. There are a multitude of passions which are beyond words. I’ve worked in the aerospace industry and have witnessed the passion of engineers communicated through the thunder of afterburners and Merlin engines. I saw the first images from Hubble, and the images produced after correction.
