The usage of trig. in Mechanical Engineering is extensive. Trig. is used in almost every branch of the subject, especially where quantitative answers are needed to real physical problems such as the size of stresses in structural parts or the volume and frequency of a vibration.

Trigonometry is used in everyday life in various ways. It is used in navigation to calculate distances and angles, in architecture and engineering to design structures and determine angles for construction, and in physics and mechanical engineering to analyze forces and motion. Trigonometry is also used in fields such as astronomy, music, and electrical circuits.
These are the general math courses in an undergraduate program of Mechanical Engineering. Actually, these are also the math courses required in ANY undergraduate Engineering curriculum: Algebra Trigonometry Analytic Geometry Differential Calculus Integral Calculus Mutivariable Calculus Differential Equations
Through the usage of trigonometry and a protractor.
Surveying is all trig. Much trig in physics and engineering,
Trigonometry is engineering math, but If you are going to study something in physics, or science, (basically this is "applied science"), you will need lots of calculus. calculus appears a lot in "Stargate".
