Just want to know if bash convert engineering number

Yes, definitely bash can do number crunching on scientific notations. You can make your bash script even more powerful

by incorporating the use of a famous text processing utility named awk. With that you have to define fewer number of variables than you would in your bash script. For reference here is a very good site. I am giving you a link to a discussion that talks about this very issue.
