Good to hear from you! (I'm still interested to hear your thoughts on Nochnoi Dozor, when you have some time/energy/desire to talk about it. If you're interested, mine are here.)
just because they want to be scientists or doctors doesn't mean they don't need to know how to write well.
Yup. I know there's the stereotype that engineers can't write, and I saw quite a bit of that attitude in the Technical Communication class I TA'd for, but I have to say, the engineers I've worked with so far have been by and large quite good at writing (discounting thos who lack near-native fluency in English). And most of the people in my department are really anal about grammar (beyond the general warping wrought by bulletized everything and corporate-speak).
