Question: Hi, I’m a third year mechanical engineering student in Ireland and I was wondering, are soft skills, such as I.T and communication, more important than math related subjects for a newly graduated engineering when looking for employment?

You need all of these skills as well as integrity. The math skills are part of the qualification for any engineering activity. The IT and communication skills are not an either/or if you want to advance in your career.
