Description

If you are a mechanical engineering final year/Pre-final year student,A graduate, Or even a working professional, This course is meant for you.

More than a hundred questions are discussed from the realm of mechanical engineering.The course is designed in such a way that most of the major subjects are covered as such -

  • Basic Mechanical Engineering (BME)

  • Manufacturing Science

  • Material Science

  • Strength Of Material (SOM)

  • Theory Of Machine (TOM)

  • Automobile Engineering

  • Fluid Mechanics (FM)

  • Thermodynamics

  • Refrigeration & Air Conditioning (RAC)

  • Heat & Mass Transfer (HMT) & Many more.

There are two answers for every question in the course -

  1. Explanatory Answer - Which contains relatively easy language & practical approach.

  2. Interview Answer - Bit theoretical (Boring) but can be considered apt while facing Interview/Viva.

The questions are divided into three levels - EASY,MEDIUM & HARD. However you might think a hard question as a easy one or vice-versa. In either case, You are always going to get one thing in return - KNOWLEDGE !!

Who is this course for?

  • Pre-Final Year mechanical engineering students
  • Final year mechanical engineering students
  • Mechanical engineering graduates and professionals
  • Anyone from mechanical stream who wants to sharpen their interview skills
  • Students preparing for their practicals (Viva) in the mechanical engineering stream.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
