Online Learning Resources!!

This thread is for people looking for online learning resources, to supplement their course books. I will only be posting links of websites that let you browse through their entire content online either free or for a very nominal fee!! I will also attempt to rate these websites based on their content,tools used and services provided

Please do not ask about "free e-books" here!!

@ mods : didn't know where to put this thread so put it here, please shift to relevant section in case it doesn't belong here!!

1. I was looking for online calculus resources and I found this Free Mathematics Tutorials, Problems and Worksheets.

Free Mathematics Tutorials, Problems and Worksheets

I found it to be a decent website. It contains theory, which is explained with the help of java applets, sample problems and downloadable worksheets (in MS Excel format) among other things..It even has printable copies of graph papers (to learn how to draw graphs of functions) in different colors!!! And can you believe it, this is free of charge. It is maintainted by a mathematics lecturer from United Arab Emirates University (UGRU).


2. Another good website I encountered, is

eFunda: The Ultimate Online Reference for Engineers

They have articles on most topics an engineer might want to discuss/read/update himself with. Some of them being, periodic table, design data (regarding design of springs, screw threads, plastic parts, etc), conversion tables, mathematics resources, et al.

Some of the articles may be available only to members, after registering for a fee, which range from $10/month to $60/annum for individuals. This is not much, considering that most home tutors charge anywhere between Rs. 200 - 500/hr at least!!

Will add more websites as and when I come across them.

    Here is another good website that offers free designing help to engineers, mostly mechanical engineers..It has standard drawing sheet templates (which you can download), design data, and other very useful resources which include Engineering calculators for calculating, for example, specifications of a screw gear. Some of these require java enabled plug-ins though.

    Excellent website. It has very lucid explanations using very easy to understand flash animations. Lot of resources are there. Mechanical engineers who are having trouble in Engineering materials/metallurgy can visit this for some guidance. The Miller indices, etc have been explained in good detail.

    ESDEP (The European Steel Design Education Programme) Course - The content of the lectures ranges from applied metallurgy to structural systems, and includes mainstream subjects, such as buckling and composite behaviour, as well as specialised sections, for instance those dealing with corrosion protection and seismic design. The material covers not only buildings and bridges but also structures such as offshore platforms, tanks, chimneys and masts. The depth of study ranges from basic introduction to very advanced. Material may be useful to both teachers, as a source for lecture presentations, and to students, working individually or in groups.

    Strange that I couldn't find certification programs online. You should check at your local NIIT center. NIIT courses are recognised all over India.
