What should I revise? for mechanical eng (1 Viewer)

[countrydude]

Hey Im going to newy to study mechanical engenering, i deferd last year and i think i should do some study be4 i go haha.

my results were (pretty average):

Chem-72
maths-78
physics-84

im thinking of doing heaps of maths and some physics....i dont know if i should worie about chem, not sure

anyway, what subjects should i study ??? are there any specific areas i should be going over that are needed in mech eng?? like i mean probbality and series and sequence etc will i be needing that kind of stuff?

thanks for ne help

Lots of maths. Mech eng has tough maths. Grab a 4 unit book and teach yourself some of the mechanics stuff. It will be really really useful.

Where you from countrydude?

Longshot: hazo? Give me a call...

Revise some maths and physics. If you don't have the required level of maths for your course (such as either Ext 1 or 2) then you might consider a bridging course at your uni (if they offer any).

ok countrydude...i did the same 1st year maths that i in the course and found it pretty easy (I did 3u HSC maths) second year maths is also pretty easy. i also did one half of the engineering mechanics course for my civil degree (the mechanics course that you will do is split into dynamics /statics for mech eng and statics / some civil subject for civil eng.) for statics i would advise you to look at year 12 engineering studies stuff, and for dynamics i would advise you to look at 3/4 unit maths and / or physics stuff.) you will most likely do physics first semester as well which you should probably look at (shock) physics stuff for, especially newtonian dynamics.

EDIT

probability - no

series and sequences - yes, for second semester maths

Hmmm sounds hard! and i only did 2 unit

hmm will there be time for me to learn this new maths stuff at uni?

im guessing 2unit is pretty basic stuff compared to 3,4 unit etc...?


hmmmm

hmmmm

if you go to lectures / tutes you will be fine My friend did 2u and thought he would fail 1st year maths but ended up getting distinctions
