      The hardest thing is not being precise enough.

      As an engineer, you need to be clear about numbers to the T. That can be hard sometimes as you know there are a lot of people relying on these numbers. 🙂

      There are usually lots of different ways to solve a problem but finding the best way quickly can be quite difficult. Engineers use a lot of maths too and changing a problem from words into maths to solve it can be hard.

      Work with people who aren’t engineers – engineers view the word as something that can be understood through math and problem solving but reality can be a lot messier. For example, an engineer can calculate where is the best place to put a wind turbine but when he visits that area the people living there might not agree.
