This paper, describe with the investigation of the abilities of mathematics thinking skills among of engineering student which has the incapability’s to solve mathematics problems. This research is to investigate and identified students engineering critical thinking and to relate mathematics equation problems base from their mathematical understanding. To achieve this by doing so is by applying mixed method implementation by interview and providing questionnaire to the responded to measure also their development of thinking base on mathematical understanding. From the experimental studies many of the students engineering clueless and even have not have an idea to relates mathematics thinking into particularly engineering mathematical problems it is preciously clear that they are well not understood to have to achieve critical thinking. From these results, it can be conclude that student engineering needs to have the skills and comprehensive understanding.
