Engineers employ technical writing, which is very different from the literary writing you learn in most English classes. Consider this passage:
Helen, thy beuty is to me
Like thos Nicèan barks of yore
That gently, o'er a perfumed sea,
The weary way-worn wanderer bore
To his own native shore.
Edgar Allan Poe
To express these ideas in technical writing, we would simpy say
He thinks Helen is beautiful.
