Antonio AddedThursday, March 29, 2018 at 11:21 PM If I am interested in biology, chemistry, slightly interested in physics but no interest in additional mathematics, can I be a mechanical engineer? I have interest in building robot.

There are several industries that mechanical engineer work in and not all of them require additional mathematics (past the calculus courses). The base of mechanical engineering is based off of thermodynamics, material stress analysis/mechanics of materials and having a basic grasp of the other engineering disciplines. In my current job, I work with robots on a daily basis but I rarely use mathematics. For me, it was the same in college. While you'll use mathematics for tests and theoretical calculations, most of the time the "math" can be done by a program of some sort. Keep in mind too, that not only mechanical engineers build robots! Almost any engineer can build a robot if they have interest in it and put the effort in to learn how. Feel free to reach out if you have other questions.
