Because its an engineer's job to do tests on materials or products - and produce a coherent report for their company's managers or customers to understand. You cannot test something effectively without being able to calculate expected results from the data given !

Why do engineers use math?

Engineering is basically applied science, and many scientific areas require math. (You might also say, "by definition": if an area of work doesn't include lots of science and math, then it wouldn't be called "Engineering".)


Do all engineers need to know math?

It is important for all engineers to have at least a basic understanding of math. Most very specialized engineers need to have a very good understanding of math in order to do their jobs well and safely.


Is engineering for people who are good at math but bad at essay writing?

Actually engineering is for people that are good at engineering. There are people who are very good at math but would be terrible engineers. There are many kinds of engineers but all engineers have to deal with the real world. Most of them work for companies that expect to make a profit. Most successful engineers find themselves in middle management before long . Many engineers use very little higher math once they go to work. Math for engineers is only a tool for solving problems and it is not the only tool. Most problems are solved by applying what has worked before.

This makes no sense. Engineers know math.


How hard is engineering and science for students who are good at math but bad at essay writing?

Not very, engineers are good at doing things, not explaining things, if they were good at writing papers, they would be managers, but at that time, they would write more and do less in the field. Math is the more important subject at hand, not writing.


What is an fact about engineers?

A fact about engineers might include the fact that most engineers are very good at math problems. Engineers also have a huge variety of fields to work in and are generally paid very well.


Is it true that if you are bad at essay writing but good at math you are a failure at reports?

Obviously you need writing skills to write just about anything. It helps to be good at math if your report is about a mathematical subject, but you still need writing skills. The best way to acquire those is to practice.

Is engineering for people who are good at math but bad at writing essays or papers?

Being pretty good at math is almost always a prerequisite skill for becoming an engineer, but it is hardly the only one. Beyond being good at math, engineers have to have strong problem solving skills. Eventually most engineers also find themselves promoted to management positions where people skills, budgeting, and organization become critical. As far as writing skills are concerned - sorry to tell you but good engineers also have to be very good at technical writing. While it may seem like essays and papers are not the same as technical writing, most of the skills of persuasion and analysis that are critical to writing essays and other papers are also necessary elements of technical writing. Most engineers spend a large fraction of their time writing reports - to document their work, to explain it to upper management, convince others of the accuracy of their work, convince others of a course of action based on the work they have done, and to justify expenditures or justify investments in facilities, repairs, new acquisitions, new construction, etc. My experience as an engineer is that I spent about a third of my time doing "engineering" a third of my time writing reports, and a third of my time attending meetings - including presenting the content of my written reports. Bottom line - you need to have BOTH good math AND writing skills to become a good engineer.
