In mathematics, I was taught early on that in order to prove something you need three things:
1. facts that are obvious/self-evident
2. relate them in a logical way
3. frame these facts and their relationships inside of a theory
Engineering is just applied mathematics. I believe that anyone can do it, at their level; the key for an educator is to have sufficient people skills to diagnose the problem areas a given student might have and then address those in the context of solving a given problem.
During my time at NC State, I worked at the mathematics laboratory for two years. In that short amount of time, I learned as much as I taught. The experience of communicating technical information in a way that is accessible requires a set of skills that, in my humble opinion, will always be in demand.
