Maths and engineering

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hello,

I am a 15 year old girl and I was wondering if anyone had any advice when it came to how maths relates to engineering? Maths is not my strongest subject but I am hoping to find a mentor to help me improve in this subject.


Any help will be appreciated and thank you in advance.

    If physics and chemistry are good for you, then you should be
    fine in an engineering discipline. Physics engineering and Nuclear
    engineering will rely on more abstract math. Depending on the
    school chemical engineering may include a lot of systems/control
    engineering, which can also be abstract math.



    Most schools make their current course requirements available
    to potential students, you can compare schools looking at what they
    will demand based on the specific program you are interested
    in.



    However it sounds like you have could very easily align with a
    many types of engineering. You may just need to accept that you
    will have to suffer a few calculus courses to get through
    it. 



    The IET technically is interdisciplinary, however it is rooted
    in Electrical Engineering, and remains very electrical to this day.
    That being said there are a few of us that aren't electrical (this
    is more common for non UK IET members). 



    Also - when you do start as school, or even now, remember to
    get your student IET membership! The ET magazines are lots of nerdy
    fun.
