Engineering Exam Prep: Engineering Mechanics (Statics) & Thermodynamics

MechStress · Engineering Exam Prep

Less Exam Stress, More MechStress

Exam preparation for Statics (Engineering Mechanics) and Thermodynamics — with sample exams, exam-style practice problems, and video explanations & worked solutions. Statics covers trusses, internal load (NVM) diagrams, virtual work, pole plans, static friction, stress–strain and force magnitude. Thermodynamics covers the ideal gas, closed- and open-system energy balances, cycles, isentropic efficiency, entropy, real fluids and exergy.

Is this course worth it?

Most tutorials cost in the range of 40€ to 80€ per hour and oftentimes only offer up to high school-level knowledge. MechStress covers more advanced engineering topics than any other online course. For the price of less than 2-3 tutoring hours, MechStress gives you a multitude of exam topics with full video explanations and sample exams with video solutions. The course offers structured engineering preparation without ongoing tutoring costs and is designed to help you understand, not just memorise steps. This way, you are truly prepared for any exam questions that might come up.

Does this course match my university's syllabus?

This course covers all fundamental topics and exceeds most university courses. The content is very extensive, such that you can find each topic that might be taught at your uni. However, notations can differ, so use the course as structured practice and compare with your lecture notes.
