<p>I have considered majoring in Engineering - probably Electrical, Electronic, or Design - but I am still iffy due to the fact that I do not consider math and science my best buds. I want to be naive and say that I will endure such subjects for the sake of one of my dreams to engineer rides for theme parks, however, I will be realistic instead.</p>
<p>So, to pursue a career as an engineer, how much would actually liking math and science be essential?</p>
<p>Liking math is not really essential. Tolerating it is. However, engineering IS science. There is no way around it.</p>
<p>Also, for what it’s worth, there is no such thing as “Design Engineering” and electronics would be part of electrical engineering.</p>
<p>Perhaps consider industrial engineering? It’s not quite so science 'n math oriented, in the traditional sense. You could consider computer science as well, or systems engineering. Of course even if you go with these careers, you’ll have to learn the science and math, but you may not have to always deal with it (don’t grill me for this, every job is different).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Have you ever taken an industrial engineering class? The stochastic optimization and non-linear programming classes give every other field of engineering a run for their money.</p>
<p>Are we going to have another ****ing contest? If you really had an argument, you would attack the basis of it, not nitpick in some irrelevant way.</p>
<p>You do not have to enjoy math and/or science. You do, however, have to be reasonably good at them. You don’t have to be a genius but if you absolutely struggled with high school math and science classes you’re going to have a rough time in college.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You attacked a field of engineering that you obviously know nothing about. Did you expect someone to send you a cookie? </p>
<p>As someone who has taken a wide-range of PhD courses from ME, ChemE, IE, and EE departments, I think I am in a slightly better position than you to determine if a field is “math oriented”, particularly when dispensing advice on what field a person should seek. Your advice is simply wrong. You’re going to get called out on that.</p>
<p>How did Hadsed ATTACK industrial engineering? </p>
<p>He simply said it doesn’t require as much math and science as some of the other fields. If you take that as an insult than you just hold math and science in much higher regard than Hadsed and take it as an insult when somebody says industrial engineering doesn’t need much math and science. For somebody so enamored by math, you’re not very logical.</p>
<p>If you’re so smart, you should have picked up on a few clues in my first post. Let me help you out here:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>If you need more help with that, please feel free to attack me again so I can ignore you.</p>
<p>Please, do ignore me. If an 18 year old throwing around generalizations he knows nothing about qualifies as advice in your book, we don’t have much to talk about, anyway.</p>
<p>Anyways…</p>
<p>I do appreciate the advice.</p>
<p>I could tolerate math and science though, lately, Physics has been driving me crazy. My grades are decent (B’s) at the moment though I am trying to kick them up to an A - we’ll see where that goes. </p>
<p>As for industrial engineering, I’ll look that up and see if it would peak my interest.</p>
