My STEM college was still big on humanities. We were required to take a writing and communication class specifically focused on effective writing. They understood it doesn’t matter how good your engineering work is if you can’t convey it to anyone.
I think the problem is a more fundamental flaw in how we teach and convey ideas and a core problem with the education process.
I didn’t like having to take humanities classes in college but I’ve become an ardent supporter of it. Gen eds matter, a college degree is supposed to declare you generally educated but with a focus on something.
