Writing as a form of async communication (and not as a format to deliver working results, as you would do in a thesis or other assignments in school and academia) is something engineers often learn only at a job, assuming that their working environment has a strong tendency to do so.

Outside of that it is very hard to learn and stick to it, because your environment often does not honor the effort you put into the writing, instead they call you back (although you will actually read to them in the call what you have written. In that case you wasted your time with writing (not exactly because writing often helps you get your thoughts straight, but it still can feel this way).
