Mechanical Engineering is a lot about finding the best solution to a problem that is presented to you, and to do that creativity is needed.  It is important for a mechanical engineer to develop this skill because it will help them to come up with multiple solutions to a single problem. Because of this, I started drawing, especially during college since due to the heavy load of technical classes, there is sometimes little room to express creativity.
