It really depends on what the individual goal actually is.
I think engineering curriculums “stop short” on mathematics just as it starts becoming interesting, more generalized and before connections start becoming easy to see and remember. Math is often handled as a bag of tricks.
A lot of engineers would do well to review mathematics at a deeper level than their undergrad days, and that can mean hitting up real analysis, abstract algebra and other topics from scratch in a proof theoretic way.
Once that mathematical fluency is achieved, it becomes possible to ingest other topics at higher levels of sophistication, IMHO.
