Well I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but I guess I'm going to anyways. I am a ME student as San Diego State University and I am having a little bit of trouble with Mechanics of Materials and some other classes. The problem that I see myself having is when it come to test time. I can seem to get the homework problems done and understand most of them. however when I get a test I often cannot understand how to tackle the problem, I know I have all the tools and our professor gives us any equation we ask for and since it it relatively early in the semester most of the topics we have covered aren't too difficult to grasp. I guess is what I'm trying to ask here is if anyone might have a good approach or mindset to try and have when doing these sorts of problems or any engineering problem for that matter..
I know the best thing about engineers is their problem solving skills and I want mine to be as sharp as possible. So my next question would be is if there are some sort of exercises or mind games/puzzles besides normal course work that anyone knows of that I can do to help sharpen a mind to be more geared toward intensive problem solving?
Thanks ahead of time for any help.
