Are you kidding?
Engineering is *applied science*.
You need math to figure out the volume of concrete to build a dam.
You need math to figure the size of steel frame to build a bridge.
You need math to figure out the rate of reaction in a chemical reactor used for oil refining.
You need math to design the contour of gears.
You need math to size electronic components in a radio (TV, computer).
And so on.
And that is only math. I can go on about physics and chemistry as well, if there is a need for it.

you have too master math and science to do engineering. Engineering is math based, how much current will a motor need, what size conductors are required to carry the load, how big of a circuit breaker do you need to protect the motor, all must be determined from a math model of the motor, and conductors. We have good book that have already done the math, but the math was done and used. Like the man said below, Engineering is applied Science. We apply science to real world examples. How much water will a tank hold? Use a math equation and calculate the volumn.

the science in engineering is usually math based.

mathematics is the base of all sciences . engineering is the application of science in nature.

Much in the same way as sound to music or food to catering
