Key: Geometry, trig, and calculus
Critical: Learning core math principles ◦ depends more on structural visualization,
analytical reasoning
Students who don’t like math ◦ may still find engineering a good career fit ◦ may need to work harder to achieve mastery
Good in math, don’t like structural visualization ?◦ try careers in financial analysis, economics, marketing
research, social or physical sciences, or programming.
