Engraver is the skill used to smooth or engrave rocks. The skill of the engraver does not affect the quality of smoothed tiles, but does affect the quality of engraved tiles. It is a good idea to train engravers by having them smooth large areas before engraving anything.
Engraving is a good way to build up the attributes: strength, agility and toughness. Smoothing improves your fortress, doesn't consume resources, doesn't create garbage and builds experience very quickly at the higher skill levels.
However, if engraving is a dwarf's highest skill, it is likely that if that dwarf enters and completes a strange mood, then the dwarf will reach legendary status in engraving. This may not be desirable since a number of other valuable skills that are harder to train. In such cases, consider pump operating an alternative.
