Sigh. I have this argument with junior engineers all the time. The purpose of college is not to train you to do your first job, it’s to prepare you for your whole life, including your responsibilities as a citizen.
engineers (full disclosure, I am not one) absolutely rely on the skills taught in humanities classes in order to be good engineers: (1) listen to a verbal presentation, extract important information, and organize it, (2) extract important information from multiple sources, organize the information and present it clearly (3) Combine multiple lines of evidence to draw conclusions, write up your conclusions clearly and show how they are supported by evidence.
Or as we refer to them in industry jargon: meet with the client, write proposals, and deliver the project.
