Introduction

Mathematics is a must in every branch of Engineering. As stated in a new

research, Engineers are defined by their capacity to construct, design, and build structures

that need an application of scientific, economic, social, practical, and most importantly,

mathematical abilities (Mathematics And Engineering In The Field Of Engineering, n.d.).

It became part of the culture that in order to progress as an Engineer, one must be good at

Mathematics. Still, some engineering students have worries about their ability to excel in

this field due to a lack of mathematical competence, which may lead to negative

perceptions about engineering as a college major, that students who want it must be

excellent in Math-related subjects. Many people expect that Engineering students should

be knowledgeable when it comes to the topic of Math. But, in order to be an engineer, is

it really required to be proficient at mathematics? According to a study, it is difficult to

construct anything without using mathematics. It is impossible to outline the applications

of mathematics in engineering since they are so vast and complex (Application of

Mathematics in Engineering, n.d.). There have been a variety of explanations suggested

to try to explain the low retention rate, ranging from student concerns to institutional

issues, but one of the primary causes has been attributed to the early Math-related

curriculum that engineering students are expected to do. Students in engineering

commonly take these early on in math-related subjects, often before entering the actual

engineering curriculum. They are also, sadly, a contributing factor in a student's decision

to leave the field of  engineering. However, if an engineering student can successfully

finish these essential mathematical courses, their chances of graduating with a bachelor's

degree in engineering increase dramatically.
