With STEM and GEM programs being all the latest news, the amount of students taking mechanical engineering, as well as other engineering classes has vastly increased. The job market is filled with positions in the industry. If you are taking such a class you will have homework on a regular basis. The good news is there will be lots of help available to you as you venture into this field of study.
Online homework centers -there are thousands and thousands of online help centers for you to use. Your county or school district may also have a site, your teacher or another teacher in the subject may have a public site, and some businesses in the field have set up assignment assistance sites. Look online for a group that can meet your needs. Things to consider will be the cost (if any), the hours, the areas covered, and the qualifications of the people who man the group.
Peer groups -consider joining with some of your peers to make a group for homework assistance. Pick students who will pull their weight and are serious about the group. You can work online or actually meet in person to do the work. Make the meetings at a set time and always participate.
Lab sessions -your instructor will probably hold after school labs sessions. There may be a graduate or honor student who runs the sessions, but you will get the necessary help to guide you through any issues you may have with your assignment. Make sure to note the times and locations of all scheduled lab assistance hours.
Textbook Publisher Sites -all textbook publishers have online web sites. Some of those sites have problem solutions for work. Some of the companies who specialize in the field have joined hands and agreed to have manned sites. The hours are limited, but the benefits are absolutely amazing. These textbook businesses have often implemented a mentoring program that you should also check out.
Local Businesses -check the companies in your area who specialize in this field. Those companies, or least some of them, may hold a help center mentor program. Look around and see which ones will best fit your needs, as well as your busy schedule. You could also ask about the professional program that sends workers to schools once a week for hands on assistance in the field.
