Educational Learning Aids for Engineering Mechanics / Applied Mechanics
Engineering Mechanics is the common subject for all the core engineering
streams. It is an important subject for the Engineering steams like Mechanical,
Civil, Automobile, Architectural, etc. and hence the basics of Engineering
Mechanics should be learnt well. Application of mechanics is in every important
branches.
The educational aid (elearning software) for Engineering
Mechanics for SoftTech is useful as it covers basic concepts of this subject
with the help of graphics and animations wherever applicable.
It is basically covers two sections; Statics and Dynamics.
The coverage of this elearning software is as follows.
