Giovanni AddedWednesday, August 20, 2014 at 8:56 AM Can I do engineering if I'm not good at math? I wanted to be a mechanical engineer, but with me not being good at maths, I had to realise I can't do it. I am extremely interested in construction engineering, or structural engineering. I want to work on big projects, such as, airports, bridges, highways and other projects, but the problem again is going to be my maths. I just got my results back for AS maths (UK) and failed miserably. I wasn't receiving help in lessons as apparently what I wanted to know was 'too easy and I would get told off. So I guess I can't do engineering, but would maths be different at uni, getting taught by proper engineers, and if its something I feel I really want to do, could I do well? Just everyone says, looks like engineering isn't for me.;/ Reset Sort By Default EngineerGirl Team , Answered Wednesday, August 20, 2014 at 8:56 AM Math is like any other skill, and it can certainly be improved with practice. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who can do math, but can't teach it, and that can be true at universities as well as secondary schools. If you really want to do engineering you can improve your math skills, but it will likely take some dedication and time on your part. I suggest you look into outside tutoring and not rely only on your teachers if you are not getting the answers you need.
