Originally engineering meant something like applied science for maximal profit, or something like "the accountants of the science world", which requires little if any higher math. A filter / weedout system was required because of too many students, so its turned into something else entirely and now a engineering degree often means nothing other than having passed the weedout math classes. It really shows in some new grads that don't have any actual engineering skills but are really good at calc problems.
