Can you be a civil engeneer and be crap at maths? Civil engineering is a subject in which application of mathematics is fundamental. Measurements of land, proportion of building materials, estimation of the project etc., are all based on mathematics and hence there can be no civil engineer minus mathematics !! It would be hard to get through any Engineering school if you're NOT good at math. Just about every class you'll take is math based. I've been a software engineer for 15 years. According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook section on Engineering Most engineering programs involve a concentration of study in an engineering specialty, along with courses in both mathematics and the physical and life sciences. Admissions requirements for undergraduate engineering schools include a solid background in mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus) and science (biology, chemistry, and physics), with courses in English, social studies, and humanities. Bachelor鈥檚 degree programs in engineering typically are designed to last 4 years, but many students find that it takes between 4 and 5 years to complete their studies. In a typical 4-year college curriculum, the first 2 years are spent studying mathematics, basic sciences, introductory engineering, humanities, and social sciences. In the last 2 years, most courses are in engineering, usually with a concentration in one specialty According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook section on Engineering http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos027.htm#train... i sure hope not :) i agree with the above, most engineering jobs/college courses are very very math heavy. think about it, you really wouldn't want the people building your bridges to have poor math skills. |
