Yes, engineers don't only use calculus but they use it for almost anything. In your first year of engineering school you will take 2 calculus classes as well as use calculus principles in all your other classes. They use it to do the craziest things. In summary... YES! YES! YES!

How does calculus apply to you?

All electronic devices would not exist without calculus. Engineers would be able to do nothing without calculus, which means everything that we have that we owe to engineers, we owe to calculus as well. Physics would not exist beyond the high school level (which is trigonometry based) without calculus. If you asked this question to help you with a school assignment, here's a good common saying you can use: Calculus is the language of physics. Applied chemistry requires calculus, which means that everything that we owe to applied chemistry, we also owe to calculus.

Physicists, chemists, engineers, and many other scientific and technical specialists use calculus constantly in their work. It is a technique of fundamental importance.


How do architects use calculus?

Most architects do not use calculus. I would guess that very few even know what it is. Architects retain consulting engineers to design the structural, mechanical and electrical systems in their buildings, and even those engineers do not use calculus as a matter of course (Although, being trained in engineering, they are more likely to understand the concepts). Engineers do perform many calculations to determine the proper size and configuration of the various systems, but they normally base these calculations on standard formulas and published codes, and not on the direct use of derivatives or integrals. Insofar as the original formulas and codes may have been generated by calculus, you could say that the engineers benefit from from its prior use. Architects need only simple arithmetic for most of what they do. Of course, there are exceptions, ut it is a rare practicing architect who uses or even understands calculus.

Why do engineers use calculus?

There are lots of applications of calculus; for example: calculating maxima and minima, analyzing the shape of curves, calculating acceleration when you know the velocity, calculating velocity when you know the acceleration; calculating the area of figures; calculating the volume of 3D shapes; etc.

What are the applications of calculus?

Many, many applications. Calc is the basis of all higher math, for one. It's used intensively by scientists, engineers, economists, and computer programmers to name a few. Calculus attempts to model the natural world, so any profession that attempts to model natural phenomena can and should use calculus.
