Kinda swayed from the title on this video, I still think it'll be helpful to anyone wondering if they are questioning on whether to do engineering or not based on the difficulty.

[@poopipeboy3033]

I did the full bachelors degree with an honors year, and there was quite a few maths subjects. Here's the thing though: Calculus is no different to any other physics subject. As long as you do a bunch of practice problems to sharpen your understanding of the principles, then it pays off during the exams. Watching KZbin channels like KhanAcademy and PatrickJMT was also a good leg-up whenever I couldn't figure out something maths-related. Most important thing though is genuine interest and motivation for the industry, because otherwise it's impossible to slog it out for a full degree.

Anybody can do something, but not everyone has the personality, way of thinking to be an engineer. Just like anybody can be a decent athlete with training, but obviously not all athletes are equal. Hints of being an engineer should be clear from a very young age. For me playing with legos, messing with hardware, rebuilding motors, it was ovbious I had the natural way of thinking to be an engineer. But I didn't discover the profession until college.

Yes, work will get you far in life but the truly great or good engineers have some innate abilities as well. You seem to have great presentation and people skills and those are skills most engineers don't have, so you're going to do well. Make sure you can write as well!

Agreed! Your mindset/attitude and how you approach a STEM degree dictates it’s outcome. I love that you said there is no such thing as “math people”, as David Goggin says best “people like to put titles on you so they can feel better about themselves”. Roger that. I’m 33, and decided half way into this semester (Fall 2019) and only a year away from graduating with a graphic design degree, to change degree plans completely and do Mech E instead. How I see it, is I started with a disadvantage: I hated math and i’m not good at it “YET”, so, to attack that fear I must get good at it, this so called math phobia is something I conjured up in my head at some point in my life, and it’s exactly that: conjured up. To be honest, I’m afraid of math so bad that I associate the word “math” in the same way I associate the word “trauma” lol!!! So getting an engineering degree is exactly what I need in my life right now!! Get some. DO HARD SHIT. Hopefully your all done with your degree, congratulations if so!

Being good at the sciences is more dependent on perseverance than being “naturally gifted”. So I suppose you could say that it requires a type of person that doesn’t quit easily, and takes challenges head on.

Here’s the thing with math, ‘if you don’t use it, you lose’ I’m a mechanical engineer with over 10 years experience and graduated university with a first class (I’m in the UK). The reason they say engineering is hard is because there’s a lot to remember, and the amount of effort you have to put in outside of class is a lot. BUT that work will pay off. As you said, once you’re good with the fundamentals the rest will fall in place. Reality is once you’re in the work place, software will do the real complex stuff. But you’ll still need to know the fundamentals and n order to prove concepts and the such. Definitely a worth while career choice. Good luck to everyone studying now. Put the effort in now, and reap the benefits later. It’ll be worth it trust me!

Any human being can do anything another human being can do. Our only limitation is our free will to say “no, I don’t want to” and rationalize you not wanting to as, “you can’t” so you feel better about saying no. I catch myself doing this all the time.

[@SnehaSrik]

this is such an incredible mindset, I've got into a bit of a habit of telling my friends in these supposed 'easy majors' that I'm not smart - I find it crazy that people just hear my major and decide I'm the most intelligent person they've met

[@austinb3560]

The whole reason I didn’t choose engineering as a major is because of the math. Shit kills me dude. I think creating, developing, and “thinking” through different problems or products or machinery is really cool, but I know I’d really struggle with the math and physics. I barely passed pre calc in hs.

[@Girldoesengineering]

I had always learning difficulties and I still do. I saw my friends taking the A level maths course, because they are good at it and I am not. But since childhood the amount of things I could improve the last 2 years was amazing and may I do A level math as an external candidate! Still holding the dream to become a female engineer in my family.

For me. I was an honor student when I was a kid. Then I had a head injury, my skull shattered and they had to sew it while Im awake... so they had to put anesthesia on me..after that I notice that I feel like its hard for me to memorize... nobody believed me not even my parents and siblings but it cause my life to go 360°, I cant remember conversations that happened 2 minutes ago, I cant remember names(unlike ordinary people, even old people beat me to it) which my brain BEFORE the accident can memorize everything without me even trying. I remember how I always raise my hands or getting called to answer and I was always half focus but I know the answers, even my classmates ask me for answers and I tutor my own classmates before.. Anyway long story short I used to memorize everything without even trying.. and I dont even call it smart, I was just gifted with a sharp memory. Nobody listened to me, I was kick from my 1st honor title, went up I keep getting F on my classes. (I STILL LOVE READING AND studying alot of things like how smartphone chips works, gpu cpu etc, how this and that are made, how this thing works... I always check it on google and youtube, even purchase books about psychology and books about owning a hotel) but sadly if I dont do it over and over again I wont remember any of it and education is memorization(to be honest, even if you understand it, you still need to memorize it) anyway I was only honor roles for 3 consecutive years before graduating to HS... do I go to college now? No, I took doctor of dental medicine but I couldnt even handle 1st year which is a regular class because I cant memorize sht and I was serious and focus and everyday I read the books, do the hw and projects.. but when it comes to exam I just couldnt remember it, I cant even remember my classmates name or my professors name which is funny because professors grade that and I always dont put it because I cant remember.. people get pissed of me for asking a "stupid question" .. for them its a stupid question to ask who is our professor because weve been there for almost a year now.. but for me its a real struggle.. I wish I could go back in time or there is a magic pill that can make my brain function again like it used to... I want to study alot of things even making smartphone chips. Sadly im a dumb person who cant even memorize peoples name now. I wish my future kids will have my brain that can memorize fast and not the after accident. I want to do computer engineering but I am not capable of doing it, we can give examples of people with bad memories but were capable of doing this and that, but its really hard if you're the one in this position. Trust me I never stop trying, I do accept it now. All Im doing now is recording everything on a notebook and make sure that the notebook is visible to me so I wont forget even the notebook itself haha

Nice on getting into Civil Engineering 👌 👏. Honestly engneering isn't hard its more like get use to it. Think of it like high-school, first year of highschool seemed hard but then the remaining years weren't bad. Same thing with uni, first year will seem hard but it just because you haven't done something like it before, but I promise if you just maintain a good GPA and build character for the first year after it seems like common sense. Also when you get into your 2nd,3rd,4th years make sure to learn other stuff, for example im a 4th year engneering student but in my 3rd and 4th year I wanted to learn more about law and entrenupship as I know it will help me in the future. So expand your knowledge and have fun.

In my experience if u go step by step, neither mathematics, statistics, economics , computer science courses nor engineering is difficult.

Like you're doing something that your heart is not into and it sucks. My cousins have graduated engineering and they're licensed engineers now. They know I've always wanted to be an Engineer so they told me that it will not be easy for me but they will help me with math. So by now, I'll just practice math and won't be afraid to fail. Fingers crossed.

Haha I understand what you're saying. I think the best possible thing you can do is be curious... Go into each class with a level of curiosity about the world and how these things work that you can't help but to be open minded with every topic..
