You don't need to be a big maths brain to become an engineer.
Listen as Ashwini Ranjithabalan from Women in Engineering and IT at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) describes how her understanding of maths grew from her interest in engineering.
Sometimes understanding how maths can provide solutions to problems in the real world makes the learning process easier and more interesting.
What do you think Ashwini's advice would be to people who are curious about engineering but don't think they're good at maths?
