Hi Erik,
Way to connect the dots. I hear the complaint all the time that students don't need to be able to write well in their careers. A writing class is a waste of time, they should be in the lab learning something real.
You are helping them to see that their career success depends on their communication abilities. Keep up the good work because it makes the job easier when the students are in their career areas and can express themselves or develop a work order, etc.
