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 analyzemath.com. Rating(out of 5) **1/2 Category - Math 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.com Rating(out of 5) **** Category - Engineering(General) 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.
In case you want to know how steel is made, please visit Tata Steel's website given below. It has a very nice flash animation which gives you information about almost all the aspects of steel making. Very informative I must say!! Tata Steel - Steel Making Process [UPDATE] The link is no longer working! Will try to find the new link and update it! [/UPDATE]
If you are a car freak or want to read up about how does a car work, carbibles.com is the website for you. It has detailed information on topics like, fuel and engine, transmission, suspension, wheels & tyre, etc. Click on the image to visit the website Rating - **** Category - Automobile/DIY
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. Rating - **** Category - Mechanical Engineering
Materials Science resources at the University of Cambridge. Dissemination of IT for the Promotion of Materials Science (DoITPoMS) 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. Rating - ****1/2 Category - Material Science
M A T T E R - Materials Science & Engineering educational software This is a good website with great tools...will write a review as soon as i have time..
Book on technical graphics. Although it is limited preview, you get to read a lot of interesting stuff.. Technical Graphics Communication - Google Books [EDIT] I just visited the link and couldn't see a preview. So you may need to buy this one or look for a preview elsewhere. [/EDIT]
Thanks maddy. very usefull stuff going on. WINNERS DONT DO DIFFERENT THINGS....THEY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY....
