Ismaila Jobe 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 i am an 18 years old boy living in The Gambia in west Africa...i am a high school student in my final year.And my aim is to study mechinical engineering,but i have doubts whether i would be able to make it cause my mathematics is a bit weak talkless of further mathematics so am afraid whether i would be able to make it since its all about maths and physics.please help me out with ideas.

Hassan Jamshed 2 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 yes .. Sure u can do it . I am from Lahore , Pakistan doing mechanical engineering from U.E.T, Lahore ... its all about physics .. maths is basically a small part of the whole engineering .

Ramzi Yagoub 2 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 to excel in mechanical engineering you gotta master math and physics .so as you are yet to begin your study,u should work on that Ismaila Jobe and R Ganapathy V S 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrD 843 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Math is the key to everything in ME, so I would suggest that you get that under control before trying ME. Ashishv280 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paras Madaan 0 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 I am mechanical engineering student of final year. I want to ask how do i start gate preparation? And which of the best book for gate for mechanical engineering?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrD 843 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Would somebody please tell me what gate is? I have never heard of this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Suraj Mandal 1 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 sir gate is the qualification exam for better jobs in India ,like research centre,in better company etc Vikram Bishnoi 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrD 843 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Suraj, thank you for this information. I had a hunch that it was something like this.Who administers this exam? Can it be repeated to make a higher score a second time? Suraj Mandal 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vikram Bishnoi 0 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Dear sir Me is the branch which deals with study of forces and mechanisms so mathematics plays important role to solve engineering problems to understand what results actually be there advanced study through physics and mathematical formula. Mathematical is must for engineering. Regards Vikram Bishnoi So Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashishv280 0 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Would somebody please tell me what gate is? I have never heard of this.sir, its Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering conducted by Indian Institute of technology (IITs) . It is basically an exam for higher studies in India and also for applying jobs in PSUs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrD 843 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Thanks for this information.Is this GATE required to enter college, to enter graduate school, or what? What is a PSU? PS: Isn't it interesting that, even if we all speak English, we still don't speak the same language? The acronyms and terminology are different from place to place.

Kalvakuntla Saichandra 0 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Sir,PSU means public sector units Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrD 843 Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I would strongly suggest that we curtail the use of acronyms. When we speak in acronyms, we are speaking in code. Code is used to communicate with those "on the inside" while excluding those "on the outside." Considering that ME Forums serves a world-wide community, is it a good idea to exclude those who don't know our code?Without a doubt, it takes a little bit more effort to write things out in full. It also assures that everyone can understand what we are saying. Why do you write a comment if you only want a few people to understand it? Please give more thought to the needs of others.DrD Jacob Jochum 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dhrumil 22 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Dear DrD Sir,Actually GATE is an entrance test Conducted by Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) for students who completed their Bachelors and wants to do Masters. Some public sector units also offers a job directly from the scores of GATE. You can appear in same for more than one time to improve your score. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dudleybenton 5 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I took more math classes than the math majors--not a one wasted. I often call myself an applied mathematician. Math has enabled me to do all sorts of things besides mechanical engineering. I worked with several remediation teams when none of the geologists or geohydrologists or civil engineers could handle the mathematics. I solved several of the biggest pollution nightmares in North America, including the most expensive cleanup ever--on Western Cape Cod in the Kennedy's back yard. My particle tracker and 3D model builder software were the premier tools of choice for contractors working for the US Departments of Defense and Energy plus the Environmental Protection Agency for over a decade. I don't mean to be critical, but it has been my experience that engineers who don't have the "knack" (see Dilbert for details) and don't have a strong command of mathematics, end up in management. Of course, some people prefer management. I'd rather be drawn and quartered. Nasir Seinumahama 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murray John 0 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 I recommend you look at Khan academy. This has many lessons on mathematics and is explained very well. Khan Academy | Free Online Courses, Lessons & Practice www.khanacademy.org Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrD 843 Posted December 9, 2020 Report Share Posted December 9, 2020 If Khan Academy can correct the weakness in mathematics, then it could become possible to study ME. Without the correction (by whatever means), the answer is NO. DrD Nasir Seinumahama 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nasir Seinumahama 0 Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Thanks so much DrD I had been trying to find out something like that but thank God you just did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
