Online Courses for Mechanical design

[berdan]

Hey guys,

I’m on the lookout for some online courses I can dive into during my downtime. I’m really into mechanical design – think anything from piecing stuff together, working out dynamic mechanisms, picking the right motors, to designing brackets that actually fit like they’re supposed to. Yep, all of that jazz.

I’m after courses that are hands-on and packed with examples I can actually see and learn from. Theory’s important too, of course. I’m not expecting anything as heavy as my degree formulas, but some solid reasoning behind design choices and a heads-up on the kind of calculations I should be thinking about would be super helpful.

I’ve tried a couple of courses on Udemy, but honestly, they weren’t great. Coursera? Still on the fence since I haven’t found anything that really clicks.

Does anyone have recommendations for platforms or specific courses that might tick these boxes?

Thanks a ton in advance for any tips!

I believe that the subject is complex enough to be beyond the scope of a free web platform.
Related books and machine design handbooks should be a better way to learn the ropes, IMHO.

This one has served me very well for half a century:
