Is Engineering too much math?

Career Opportunities & Internships

<p>Roboticme here. I usually get As and Bs in my math (just finished Algebra 2), and I am the president of my school's robotics team. I am very hands-on, I love to fix things, I try to build something rather than buy it at full cost. I am very creative in my thinking (prob. because I'm left handed ;D jk ). I love flying airplanes, I also love film directing, I won a national award for one of my short films; but there is not many careers in film. I am very political, but not much of a career there either. </p>

<p>So...I have been seriously considering majoring in Mechanical or Aerospace engineering. Problem is: I don't like math. It bores me to death. I can't wait to start science or History by the time we get through half of my problems. Is this going to be a big problem in college and once I get a job? I gave up Computer engineering because I think that my brain may explode with days of programming. Will my math "problem" actually be a problem?</p>

<p>Math is essential in not just engineering, but most other STEM, social science, etc. majors.</p>

<p>For engineering, yes math is VERY important in college. I am an EE, and 90% of my courses have some math involved. But the good news is that in jobs, math is not always present.</p>

<p>A’s and B’s in math doesn’t mean you are BAD at it. And I am also bored of PURE math. But in engineering classes, math is just a tool, not the main topic. This makes it much more fun. So I’d say you should give engineering a chance.</p>
