The skills and concepts that students gain from math are highly valuable in multiple career fields that require critical thinking and problem-solving. When <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/verarosa.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">students pursue an education in math,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> they\u2019ll be well-prepared for a rewarding career in safety engineering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The Universal Value of Safety and Math\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Workplace safety is a highly critical area of business, not only in engineering but in every industry. Even a typical office building that performs low-risk administrative duties will require a certain level of safety engineering concerning fire prevention and keeping employees safe from accidents. Safety engineers are highly skilled in identifying unsafe working conditions or hazardous equipment, and those skills are often built on a foundation of math.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher levels of math including calculus, statistics, and trigonometry are widely known to develop a student\u2019s critical thinking skills. Students skilled in math are also adept at analyzing situations and solving complex problems. Safety engineering will often require an understanding of complex regulations and procedures. Applied mathematics would be especially valuable in helping students understand how to utilize math in real-world situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Help Students Succeed in STEM<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) are growing every day.
