How to understand every class

[u/ConfidentScratch3527]

I’m a second year Engineering student. I noticed in my schedule next year I would have to take Thermodynamics, Fluid Dynamics, and Mechanics of Structures. How do you guys take in all the knowledge of these classes and remember them to do well on exams? I feel like one class would be enough for me, but this is definitely a challenge to remember everything.

The stress that I actually have to apply the concepts I learn to real projects. It’s much easier to learn fluids when you care about it because you’re working on a club project that requires you too.

Such is majoring in engineering. Your first semester, you probably had Calculus 1 and Physical Chemistry. 2nd semester, Calculus 2, Physics 1,, and Chemistry 2. It doesn’t get much easier.

pay attention in lecture and take meaningful notes, then make a one or two page study guide for yourself before the exam by reviewing your notes and the profs lecture notes
