As a fellow mechanical engineering student I can say that it is very similar with what I have been through (minus the cheat sheet). I’m surprised how good your handwritings are with minimal scratches under a lot of pressure, mine had been quite messy 😂
To me, my work looks so messy 😅 but I’m glad u think it’s neat haha. Also, surprised that other universities don’t allow cheat sheets, but tbh I battery even used it on my exam.
In Belgian engineering universities, the median is more like 55%. While 50% is a passing grade. Questions are intentionally made way too difficult, and is considered the "norm". Either way, nobody really cares what your score was as long as you got the degree.
In the US a lot it’s structured the same way but those low scores are often curved to account for the fact the questions are intentionally too difficult
@@TamerShaheen I guess it depends of the school in Canada, because where I went, the median could be as low as 35% for some exams... Some first year classes had 30%-35% of the students failing the class (and it is how the classes were meant to be)
@@philippejolin8841 Our first math course (at mathematics engineering Programme) had a failrate of 65% this year. I got just 12/50 points, and I know several people (whom are really good at maths otherwise) that got way below 10 points. 20 points is the limit for a passing grade
@@cj-dt8jc well those problems are quite easy, everything is straightfarward, like calculus II exam was really easy. But before this turns out to be an angry comment section I want to point out that I don't mean what I said in a bad way.
Hey Tamer. I'm a freshman currently pursuing electrical engineering. I just want to say that I love watching your videos as they are sort of like a beacon to help me navigate this challenging engineering curriculum! Keep uploading such wonderful content.
Abhi what did you get on ur gcse im currently in yr11 im scared im not do good i just want to know what type kf grades you got my prediction are 7 (b) will that be good enough
your handwriting is so fabulously neat i was literally awed by it... also incredibly clean workouts to the questions makes it so easy for the teacher marking the paper to follow
Would u imagine that we did our exam with out any papers that contains any rules 😔 but it didn't gives us too much questions for calculus 😆 the thermo dynamic course with out a chi chi we struggled with that course 🤐
As a sophomore mechanical engineering student at the university at Buffalo I have had a similar experience with similar exams! Cheat sheets are a blessing
I have recently been accepted to the same university for Aerospace engineering but I plan to double major in Aerospace and Mechanical. I have also applied to Waterloo. How do you think is the program? Is it good? Is the university at buffalo well recognized if I would like to pursue graduate studies at MIT, Stanford or Berkeley?
@@themadphysicist6454 yes we have great professors and graduates with high gpa’s and research experience are able to go to Ivy League schools. I was thinking about the double major as it is popular but for me I don’t see the point in it. Same with graduate school I have heard it’s a waste of money unless your future employer will pay for it. Good luck either way! If you want to talk more lmk and we can arrange something
@@jakeconrad2130 Thank you for your reply! Buffalo is well known for it’s engineering and it is one of my cheapest options! Waiting for the honors college and scholarships to roll in before I make my choice! I also got accepted to other schools such as Penn state, Case Western and I am waiting for UIUC, Purdue, Wisconsin, Waterloo and I’m currently applying to Northwestern, Northeastern, Boston uni and CMU. What do you think of them? I know that they’re particularly strong in ME and EE.
When I looked at your engineering exams excluding Calculus II: I was like, this looks like a real world problem. Makes me think that every engineering class is essentially a Physics/Chemistry class but more applicable
Yea basically that’s a good way of looking at it. Except that the real world problems are usually “idealized” and the solutions are a bit more theoretical.
I am impressed how neatly you kept everything. I got a BSc+MSc+PhD from ETH Zürich and I really just studied on old pieces of paper that I trashed immediately and I gave all books away after I was done. I hope I have my diplomas somewhere at least 😅
Hi, im studying civil engineering in a public university in Colombia, im already finishing and I can relate in almost everything jaja, the only thing is that we don't care about grades because almost everyone is on the limit because its so hard. The calculus here is divided, you have diferential, integral and differential equations in different courses and from what I remember, you can always have a cheat sheet. The other thing compared to other colleagues in the comments, we are poor jaja so almost no-one have their own books, we have to borrow them from the library or get the pdf online. Sorry for my English, keep it up bro nice content :D
idk what school you went to but i have never been allowed to take in a cheat sheet. also, my fluids professor once told me “next time you’re on a rollercoaster, keep in mind that one of the engineers that helped build that may have never gotten one entire problem entirely correct, and only gotten partial credit his entire college career”
Also as a fellow meche yall should also understand that this is one of the best engineering schools in Canada, the marks they receive are going to be better than other colleges. Yeah depending on the class and professor you can get the 60 avg for exams and no 100% marks. In the end of a lot of factors determine success and hopefully other students will see this video and try hard.
It really depends on the university you attend, at mine the exams changed every time the subject coordinator changed, on some subjects the changes were so big the exams looked nothing like the previous semesters.
Yeah i can see that your professor are tolerant with you if you make a small mistake ,here in my university if you make a a small mistake you will lose all the points of the question. Keep up the good work 👏👏
At my university (in Sweden), they seem to really enjoy making the exams difficult. On the exams I’ve taken so far, you can get a maximum of 50 points, with 20 being a passing grade. For our first math course, the fail rate this year was 65% and I only got 12 points. You need to know a significant portion of the course really well In order to pass, because if you know everything fairly well, it will still be very tough to solve the exam questions
I go to KTH and you need 16/32 marks to pass, where 12 marks are at an A level, so pretty tough to solve hahha 😂. We typically have a failrate of ~50% each math exam
@@marcelo497 congrats dude =D Your exams are have plenty more marks than mine? How much time do ypu usually get? We have 3 hours but the questions require quite some time
It’s interesting to see how different your calc 2 exam is compared to the one I took last year in Italy. Here the cal 2 exam goes far beyond simple integral and it’s mostly about double and triple integral so you have to integrate 2 or 3 variables function over a complicated domain like a sphere, a cylinder, a cone and combinations of different shapes. We also had to study line integrals and surface integrals and analysis in IR^n, so basically studying a multivariable function, so we had to find its max and min by analyzing the character of the Hessian matrix associated with the function. We also spent quite a long time studying vectorial fields and their analytical equations and a bunch of theorems related to them, such as Gauss’ theorem, Stokes’ theorem and Green’s formula. Computer engineers, like me, also study complex analysis, so integrals of function defined with complex numbers and we had to study and do the types of integrals I already mentioned but in C (the number set, not programming language). We also studied series expansions, such as Taylor’s series with the so called “reminder of Peano”, Laurent series (nasty stuff, I found it extremely difficult) and Fourier series. Oh and we also studied Laplace transform at the beginning of the course, which was supposed to be a soft introduction to the course. So I was kind of shocked when I saw this video because the integrals you showed us are basically normal integrals of one variable function which are quite easy when compared to all that stuff I’ve done in my calc 2 course.
In argentina this is analysis 1, where pre-analysis are normal integrals and stuff shown in this video, however I study maths and our exams were way longer, (4/5 hours), only 4 or 5 questions yet way more difficult than what was shown in this video, very interesting stuff
This makes me excited and nervous for the courses to come. I’m in my 2nd semester of Freshman year for Computer Engineering and I have low self esteem when it comes to grades and shit lol My goal is to not only pass but pass with scores like yours bro I’m gonna work hard appreciate the content
as a student pursuing electronics and communication engineering this is kinda helpful tbh being in in s1 is just about what your learnt during high school but when you come here its a whole different world
my brain cant get all of this in my head , im already struggling with physics , even after practicing and understanding , i still got 30 / 75 , i barely passed the exam , that is why i hope i can just pass the exams to finish this goddam hell from my life , these study's caused problems in my family , and i hope i can just finish this hellhole . i want a scholarship but that is way out of my league to reach and im not smart enough , so ill just stick to a part time job in future , because we already know when we die , we will leave everything here, so there is no point of me getting a scholarship and work my ass off just to get a good life , im already poor and there is only option for me and that is to do a part time job , and live a life on that money , other then that i never loved studying ,
As a former comp science student, I did calculus and probability theory in my freshman year and never saw high-level math again for a long time. Then in my senior year, I took a theoretical machine learning course and started to cry...
I miss doing calculus 1 and 2 in my first year of uni. I was biotechnology student at RMIT Australia , so I only had 1 year of math subjects, but damnnn I miss it. These exam questions brought back memories. Thank you for uploading this mate.
I think the solution to the calc paper 6a incorrect , the limit is not 1. I do not think its appropriate to put the limit inside one of the bracket and perform analysis on it. Consider a similar limiting sequence which converges to eulers number!
It is a bit different here in Italy. For example, we don't have calculus I and II but we have a big course called analysis, with all the differential calculus in it. But, mostly, we are not allowed to bring home our exams at all. It looks so strange to me😅
I heard 2 hour and 7 questions in the beginning and making me question my thinking to be an aeronautical engineer (I’m joking besides I’m still in highschool so it honestly feels like a blessing for what you say we can have in the test room)
We are not even allowed to use a calculator during our exam. Mechanical engineering. Every little thought and handwritten calculation needs to be on the paper for ppl to see and understand. All of that just because my professor „doesn’t believe in calculators“. We are also not allowed to bring in any notes whatsoever. 10 questions in 90 minutes. I’m glad my prof is such a brilliant person to be able to solve all this complicated stuff in only one hot second like really props to him but I’m definitely struggling lol. lol with tears in my eyes
Everyone here are engineering students and here I am a junior in high school taking AP Calculus BC like "woah we were taught how to evaluate integrals does that makes me an engineering expert"
Getting a degree in engineering can be great if that is what you needed to do in order to learn the materials for future engineering applications! However, getting deep into dept to learn engineering applications and sciences does not have to be. Yes I did 3 years of staggered engineering classes but I did that while working a full time job to be dept free. I now work as an automation engineer applying what I have learned in the field while also In class. All this without a degree, so it is possible to be an engineer without a degree. It does depend on a company valuing your experience over a degree though. Started as a welder turned into automation engineering! You can do it!
I received my BS in Civil Engr in 1988 right at the birth of modern computing. Within just a few years all the long winded ways of solving complex problems was replaced with brute force computer programs. After completing my degree and working in the profession for 32 yrs, I found that all the work put into studying and taking exams was mostly pointless. The real importance lies in truly understanding basic principles of engineering/maths/etc. With that you can use reference books to solve almost anything because you know the correct path.
Wh- I envy how you are allowed to bring cheat sheets as well as having ample time to solve problems. I'm still in my 4th year of Mechanical Engineering and I swear it's like we're being murdered. Thermodynamics exam had 70 problems to be solved in 4 hours without cheat sheets
Wow this video was awesome. I'm currently doing my A levels and the first calculus test and thermodynamics test are very similar to my maths and physics exams, I've come across harder questions than shown in my maths course
bruh your first year of calculus(almost) is literally my highschool shit wtf is that ,now i am at uni (software engineeering, and in my first semester and second, calculus is for geniuses)
Mech Eng 9- 10 final exams in less that 2 weeks, 8 subjects, some subjects had 2 x exams. Also so many assignments and exams every subject all the way through terms
I have a professor who personally told me that he doesn't believe in part marks. An exercise is either fully correct or it's not so essentially you either get the max points or zero 😅
First Am impressed how you manage this all things.......Am ECE student in AASTU (Ethiopia ) final exams are taken out of 50 for 15 workout question ....and also we dont know what a cheetsheet means........i appreciate your instructors they are much helpful
Guys don't get it twisted those exams that he showed us are way too easy...Those types of problems that he showed are done after you finish highschool. In university it's way harder than this. Maybe because here in Canada it's different but when I did my calculus 2 there were only 3D figures not any simple integral. I think what he showed us was integral calculus and differencial calculus. But for the mec exam it's pretty much the same.
Oh ye not criticizing homy your videos are nice. Just telling ppl that depending on the university they go to the exams are harder or easier. Like the calculus you did in uni is the one we did in college. So we had to do another calculus that was way harder in uni
As a Mechanical engineering student in Taiwan, yep a real asia student in asia college first grade we learned Calculus for a whole year second grade we had engineering mathmatics that is kind of Calculus Pro i guess also from second grade to third grade we had to learn all kind of force such like statics, dynamics, thermo, materials.,mechanism, fluid. btw we still have to learn the Programming because it is too famous at here.....
senior mechanical engineer at Cukurova university in Turkey! I WIIIISH we got cheat sheets, I swear so many of our exam questions just revolve around knowing the formula and nothing else, I feel like if we had cheat sheets we would get more questions that are actually useful to us
How much you wanna bet that these math questions won't be based on a actual engineering job. Yeah there will be some math involved, but lets be honest that most of these math questions wont even be used in the real world
