Maths and engineering

Former Community Member over 10 years ago

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.

Hi,

One other branch of engineering you may want to consider if you enjoy phyics and chemistry but struggle more with maths is Materials Engineering. Materials Engineers are responsible for selecting appropriate mateirals for different applications, and for testing materials. They need to have a good understanding of physics and chemistry to understand how processing a material affects its structure on a micrscopic level and how this in turn affects its properties on a large scale. Maths tends to be less important (although A-Level maths is still normally required for university courses).
