Would you recommend someone doing engineering?

How much maths does it contain?
I am studying mech eng right now. I would recommend someone to do engineering if they have a strong passion for finding out how things work, why are they design this way, and what ways we can improve these existing design.

It is 100% maths. Bascially everything you do involve maths and more. The calculations aren't the most difficult part. The most difficult part is to understand the theory behind it, and remember all the small details as well so you can apply the right method to solve the problem.

Just maths isn't going to help, so far in uni, i have done a physics subject, chemical subject, electrical subject, 2 computer programming subjects, 1 material science subject, 1 manufacturing subject, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine system design, and various engineering mechanics subjects. There are more but i can't be bothered to type it all out.

Alll subjects are 100% maths and more, you have to know your theory to understand how to use the equation, it isn't as smple as putting numbers in given equations.
