Suitable For
Diploma Mechanical Engineering | B.Tech Mechanical Engineering | AMIE Students | Engineering Students preparing for examinations | Students requiring one-to-one tuition
Training Approach
Concept → Formula → Derivation → Solved Example → Numerical Practice → Engineering Application
This subject can be particularly effective as a one-to-one tuition programme, because students can work through numerical problems at their own pace and clarify difficult concepts immediately.
