I agree that some pakistani EE major isn't likely to get an A in his English lit class. But I was cybertalking about those of us who speak English as our first language.
Anyhow, the reason so may foriegners are engineering and science majors is because Americans are lazy.

Cite please. I don't know where you went to school, but where I went to school science majors could not graduate unless they took several non-science classes. I am sure there were science majors who couldn't write, but they generally were at the bottom of the curve in their science classes, too.
Those of us at the top of our science classes almost without exception also were at the top of our non-science classes.
