I would ignore the suggestion and continue with my own plan.

I don’t think engineering has helped me solve problems better. I haven’t noticed any significant changes in how I approach problems.

I don't think engineering has made me a better problem-solver yet. I'm still working on improving my approach to challenges.

I'm not sure if engineering has directly impacted my problem-solving skills, but it has taught me useful methods for tackling problems.

I feel that engineering has helped me become a better problem solver, although there's still room for improvement. I use the skills I've learned regularly.

Yes, I believe engineering has significantly improved my problem-solving skills. I now approach challenges with more creativity and confidence.
