MIT First-Year Students Learn through Creation

Class 2.00a, Fundamentals of Engineering Design: Explore Space, Sea and Earth, empowers first-year students to conceptualize, design, and build machines early in their academic careers at MIT.

[@jaschowdhari3463]

the exams themselves should be analytical and application based . writing and practical should be simultaneous . Or teaching should be in a way that knowledge becomes primary and marks become secondary . In my college , Half the batch rotted books and always only asked for question bank or notes . They did stand first but they lack in knowledge and basic practical skills . They never questioned facts of science . Just wanted to get marks and pass exams . And we have had some good professors who taught great .

Takes very good teachers to impart knowledge in a way that makes you really understand, and there's very few of them. There's people who know, and there's people who really understand.

To everyone saying they cant get to MIT always remember the fundamentals will always be the same. If you cant get into MIT then you can try force yourself to start thinking creatively about the things you learn and try to build things no matter how simple. You'll be amazed how much higher thinking and innovation suddenly comes into your head just by creating something. You can also create cool projects by fully understanding the different forms of energy and how they can be converted to one another. Tools like Solidworks help you visualise and simulate stuff. Very costly software but they have some student versions. Also gettinga 3D printer if you can afford it, play around with arduino and watch channels like these to get motivated kzbin.infovideos ,kzbin.infovideos
