Engineering is the art of creating and improving our environment. It involves planning, design, construction, quality assessment and control. None of these would be possible without mathematics. Engineering mathematics is at the core of all branches of engineering, from aerospace engineering to electronics and from mechanical engineering to computer science. As engineering evolves and develops, mathematics forms the common foundation of all new disciplines.
Industry now requires an increasing number of numerate graduates who can apply mathematics in practical situations. Engineering Mathematics graduates are called on to use their logical skills to formulate a problem; their modelling skills to translate the problem into mathematical terms; their technical skills to write a computer program; their mathematical understanding to question and interpret the results; and their knowledge of engineering to implement the solution. Engineering Mathematics graduates are superbly employable - students graduate with technical and transferable skills that enable them to play a leading and creative role as mathematicians and engineering professionals in industry, academic research, and elsewhere.
