Engineers have to ensure that the structures they design are suitable for purpose; for example, that bridges can carry the required loads without collapsing, aeroplanes are light enough and aerodynamic enough to fly etc... Clearly, all these calculations rely upon the ability to understand and apply maths; failure to do so would result in collapsing buildings and endangerment of lives.
