      Most people say that you have to be good at maths to become an engineer. While that is true, you don’t have to be Einstein.

      It’s good if you have a curiosity about how things work: engines, CDs, the human heart – anything!

      To become an engineer then you go to college or university and study special subjects that will teach you things you need to know for work.

      You do need to go to college, in oder to become an engineer. I truly believe that if you really want to be something, you can with a lot of hard work. You do not have to be really good in math and physics, but it does focus on these two subjects. However, you can still be an engineer with the basic knowledge of physics and math. I only studied science subjects such as biology, chemistry, and microbiology. My lack of knowledge in physics and math did not deter me from being an engineer. I just worked really hard to become one. With a lot of motivation and hard work, you can become anything! 🙂
