工程的某些领域，尤其是通信理论和密码学，直接利用了埃尔德什数主要涉及的离散数学。因此，这些领域的从业人员的埃尔德什数低就不足为奇了。例如，加州理工学院电气工程学教授Robert McEliece与埃尔德什本人合作，其埃尔德什数为1。<ref>{{cite journal |author=Erdős, Paul, Robert McEliece, and Herbert Taylor |title=Ramsey bounds for graph products |journal=[[Pacific Journal of Mathematics]] |volume=37 |issue=1 |date=1971 |pages=45–46 |url=https://msp.org/pjm/1971/37-1/pjm-v37-n1-p07-p.pdf |doi=10.2140/pjm.1971.37.45|doi-access=free }}</ref>RSA密码系统的发明者，密码学家Ron Rivest，Adi Shamir和Leonard Adleman的埃尔德什数均为2。<ref name="erdos2"/>
