Should I teach my sister coding for a engineering job?

Learning to code teaches many things that are useful and have value in any future choices.
- thinking logically about problems to figure out solutions,
- learning to think about sequences of actions,
- using action sequences to teach others,
- building confidence, and
- I'm sure others I haven't thought of.
Whether she makes use of the coding in her future doesn't matter. She will be better prepared for whatever she chooses.

Even if she doesn't need it for engineering, it could be useful in the future for whatever (maybe she will decide to work as software engineer or to work in the A.I field, etc...). So yes I would teach her.

Absolutely. Well said John Wells.
