<p>I'm sort of intrigued with engineering, but I am not really sure. What field of engineering is mostly math oriented? I mean i can handle chem and stuff but i really didnt like chem at all and im not a big physics fan. But i like patterns/puzzles and calculus and things like that. Any field that fits me? or do i not sound like an engineering type? Im attracted to engineering because it is such a prestigious and rigorous field.</p>
<p>Industrial engineering requires heavy loads of math courses. Especially statistcs, diff eq..etc.</p>
<p>prestigious field- stay away. stay far away. go into some kind of business/hedge funds. or applied math. you dont seem to like physics, which is what a lot of engineering is based on, so engineering seems bad fit for you.</p>
<p>Liking math is a plus, but not liking physics is bad. If you want rigor and prestige don't do engineering, you'll only get rigor. I agree with Flemmyd, look to business disciplines to find that rigor. Applied math is a lot like engineering, but can be applied towards business areas. Fund management, private equity management, etc. could give you both rigor and prestige, and are math based.</p>
<p>ok thanks, lol, is engineering not prestigious? or is it just the wrong reason to be interested in it? like i was thinking computer engineering since its more pattern/math based right? but ive been planning on business anyway, it just sounds vocational to me, which isnt bad, just not for me. gosh you guys saw right through me, haha</p>

<p>Both. Don't do it.</p>
<p>Also, if you think <em>business</em> is vocational, don't go into engineering. At all.</p>
<p>Some subdisciplines of the computer field are pattern/math based, such as AI and machine learning.</p>
