The Surprise Awaiting You in Engineering School

Most people preparing for engineering school focus on the wrong things.
If I could redo engineering from scratch, I’d spend most of my time mastering mathematics first.

Most people who plan to study engineering ask the same question: “What should I review before engineering school?”

You’ll hear plenty of advice but there’s one thing that is consistently underestimated: mathematics.

In this video, I explain why mathematical fluency matters more than almost anything else in engineering school, regardless of discipline (mechanical, electrical, chemical, aerospace, or otherwise).
