About the Tutor
Hi, my name is Sanjay, and I am a high school senior in NJ excited about engineering! I joined Schoolhouse to give and receive help on a variety of topics, from SAT prep to Physics to Calculus. In my freetime, I enjoy making art and watching YouTube. "The school I envision would embrace technology not for its own sake, but as a means to improve deep conceptual understanding, to make quality, relevant education far more portable, and— somewhat counterintuitively—to humanize the classroom." - Sal Khan, The One World Schoolhouse
Upcoming Sessions
Session 1
Other Topics
- What is stress, force, area, pressure, and how are they all related?
- What is strain and why is it important to engineers?
- How can we relate stress and strain to characterize different materials?
Session 2
Other Topics
- What is statics and how does it differ from dynamics?
- How can free body diagrams and Newton's second law be used to solve statics problems?
- Where can we find examples of statics being used in an engineering career?
Session 3
Other Topics
- What are the six simple machines and how do they improve mechanical advantage?
- What are the classes of levers and how are they used in the real world?
- How can we calculate the mechanical advantage of complex pulley systems?
Session 4
Other Topics
- What are gears, cams, and linkages?
- How can we calculate the gear ratio of complex gear systems?
- How are mechanisms used in real-world products?
Session 5
Other Topics
- What are the three laws of thermodynamics?
- What are Carnot cycles and how do they apply to real-world thermodynamic systems?
- How can we use thermodynamic math to calculate heat transfer between materials?
