Quality Courses / Disciplines that avoids AI
Hello !
I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a degree in Mathematics . I never studied at a graduate level . I work as a high-school teacher .
I live alone and I don't have a girlfriend / wife ( I'm saying this to clarify that I have some free time ) .
Recently , I've rediscovered the desire to study engineering subjects again .
Since I don't have enough free time and other kind of resources to came back to the University , I'm here asking for recommendations of recorded video lectures for university subjects .
I know that I could simply type " Fluid Mechanics Course " into YouTube , for example , but I gave up on doing a manual search , because I realized that a lot of it is being generated by AI ( robotic voices , incorrect concepts , etc ) .
I would like to see courses recorded the old-fashioned way , that is , a professor who decided to record their classes or a professor who recorded videos for YouTube , but with professional content quality ( in the style of MIT's online classes , for example ) . This avoids amateurs teaching and searches that end up with AI-generated content .
I'm being honest : it's tiring and discouraging to think that searches always show poor content as the first results and I don't want to get discouraged .
Having said all that , I'm asking for suggestions for typical Mechanical Engineering course subjects ( since I have an academic background in Mathematics , I don't think I need guidance in mathematics subjects , but I may ( certainly ) have forgotten something , so suggestions are welcome ) :
- ODEs and PDEs , Laplace and Fourier Transforms and Calculus in one complex variable ;
The real important stuff is :
- Basic Programming Languages and the main Algorithms ;
- Introductory CAD Stuff ( I learned Technical Drawing with pen and paper ) ;
- Basic Physics ;
- Statics ;
- Dynamics ;
- General Mechanics ;
- Strength of Materials ;
- Fluids ;
- Thermodynamics ;
- Heat Transfer ;
- Mechanical Vibrations ;
- Machine Elements ;
- Mechanical Design ;
- A basic understanding of Electronics ;
- Machining Welding ;
- Machining with CNC .
I know it's a lot , but any contribution is appreciated .
Thanks .
