How hard is the maths for Mechanical Principles and Thermo in ME studies?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the perceived difficulty of learning Mechanical Principles and Thermodynamics in an online HNC Mechanical Engineering program. Participants emphasize that while prior knowledge of mathematics can ease the learning process, mastering these subjects online poses unique challenges. The consensus is that self-study in mathematics is generally more difficult than learning in a classroom setting with a tutor. Additionally, the lack of available past materials for these units complicates the preparation process for students.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic engineering mathematics
  • Familiarity with Mechanical Principles
  • Knowledge of Thermodynamics concepts
  • Experience with online learning platforms
NEXT STEPS
  • Research effective online learning strategies for engineering subjects
  • Explore resources for Mechanical Principles and Thermodynamics
  • Investigate online tutoring options for engineering mathematics
  • Find past exam papers or study guides for HNC Mechanical Engineering
USEFUL FOR

Students enrolled in online HNC Mechanical Engineering programs, educators seeking to support online learners, and anyone interested in mastering Mechanical Principles and Thermodynamics through self-study.

It depends on you, of course, but generally it's hard to learn maths on your own. Have you tried?

Only HNC engineering math in class with tutor. I can't find any previous past material for those units so see if i can cope. I can do the futhur math unit because it just builds upon the engineering maths unit, but those mechanical units dont.
 
This question is essentially an imponderable. The math required for any particular course is not hard if you already know it, but it may be insurmountably difficult if you've never seen it before. No one but you can even guess at the answer in your case.
