      Physics! The things you learn in physics are fundamental to every type of engineering. How much fuel a rocket needs to escape the Earth’s gravitational field, how much power a wind turbine will generate, or how fast a sailboat go are all good engineering questions that you can easily answer if you know a bit of physics.

      I agree with Masha 🙂 physics is the most important subject for engineering.

      Physics, defo.

      If you’d said two, then maths would have been next – maths is the language of physics.
