I highly recommend the series of Mechanical Engineering courses offered by Dr. Whiteman. The courses are self contained if taken in order, and all the theorems given are developed in the class, no formulas are thrown at you, so you can understand w…

Dr. Whiteman is a very good teacher, he makes the complicated physics easy to understand and relate it with real life examples and equipment, which makes the class very interesting. I have taken all 4 courses in Dr. Whiteman's "Mechanics of Materials" and I highly recommend them as fundamental introduction courses for those who are interested in mechanical engineering!

The course is very well structured. It gives all the basics, and equip you to attempt complex problems. Apart from the math and laws, Mr. Wayne Whiteman like in all his other courses strives to give you an intuition of mechanics which is essential for a designer. I highly recommend this course.

Dr. Wayne Whiteman,
This course "Mechanics of Materials III: Beam Bending:" was probably one of my favorites.
I currently work as an FEA analyst, and its nice to be able to recall some of the concepts from this class.
Thanks again!

I loved your explanations . Thanks Dr. Wayne Whiteman. You are incredible Especially your statement " Emphasis will be on understanding the subject not ton the calculations". now I started teaching this subject to my friends with ease
-
Really good lectures. Loved taking it. It was a good complement to my graduation, since I did not got it so well the first time. My only complaint is that the question on the forum are never (or it take to much time) answered.
-
Excellent explaination.... brushed up my old mechanics basics. The homework questions are excellent. I would recommend this MOOC for mechanical engg students as well as for others who would like to rewind these topics.
-
AN EASY COURSE TO UNDERSTANDING BEAM BENDING.YOU WILL GAIN FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT SFD,BMD,PLASTIC BENDING ETC.IF YOU CANT UNDERSTAND ANY OF THE ABOVE MENTIONED CONCEPTS,SIMPLY ENROLL IN THE COURSE
-
The course is very much Informative and interesting. I felt it a perfect way to refresh my basics. Professor has explained the things in an easily understandable and more application oriented manner.
-
Great course. I highly recommend it to people interested in mechanical engineering. I wish we had more useful courses on mechanical engineering. Thanks Dr. Whiteman
-
Very good course from one of the best instructors
many thanks to everyone who made this available, coursera, georgia tech and mr. Whiteman
looking forward for more -
Great content that really helped explain things in which are harder to understand I highly reccomend the course to anyone looking to get a better idea
-
its a very good course where bending of beams is explained in a very easy way. It will be helpful to every student who want to build deep insight in bending.
-
It is an excellent course and very useful. Thanks a lot to Dr. Whiteman for such a wonderful teaching. Strongly recommended for all Mechanical Engineers.
-
Excellent course. Prof Whiteman provides worked examples that help with learning and the quiz problems. His courses provide a good background for engineering.
-
The passion for the mechanicals, statics, calculus, design of elements structures ......I love these. Great course. Thanks you.
Dr. Tonny W. Caicedo -
This was a great course. It followed a logical progression and covered everything you would need to know for a mechanics of materials class.
-
Excellent course. it is a good opportunity to learn or refresh this subject. I am very happy with the content and the professor.
