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 !!

• 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.

• Basic Physics - Density,Viscosity,Law of conservation of energy,Moment,Buoyancy,Moment Of Inertia etc.
• Basic Mathematics - Differentiation,Integration,Partial differentiation,Logarithm etc.
• Basic Mechanical Engineering - Welding,Crystal structure,Metal casting,Fe-C phase diagram,Stress & strain,P-V diagram etc.

• What Job roles you can apply after completing the course

  • Entry level mechanical engineering job as such GET (Graduate Engineer Trainee) & DET (Diploma Engineering Trainee)

Currently there are no Q&As for this course. Be the first to ask a question.
