Vera AddedWednesday, October 25, 2023 at 8:59 AM Can you still a pursue a degree in engineering without being good with math? I used to be one of the best in my math class but then I switched schools and my average grade the last two years before graduating was a C (in exams) & D (participating in class). Since the sudden drop in grades took away my passion for mathematics, I am not interested in the subject as much as I used to as a kid. Now, I'm mostly interested in chemical / mechanical engineering.

It seems simple on the outside, but it takes time to resettle yourself and find your groove. Mathematics is an underlying component to nearly all of engineering. There are many types of math and few are “good” at all aspects of it. Just because you are not excelling as you once were don’t count yourself out. This is a moment in time. If your passion lies in engineering you’ll take classes (math and otherwise) you love, despise, or feel indifferent towards. Give yourself some grace. Keep at it. If you want this - you can do it.
