Being into first semester of engineering, I was looking for resources online that could facilitate my engineering study. And to my expectations I found many and most helpful among them was the resources provided by the IITs and IISc. Video lectures and materials on almost all subjects of engineering grouped systematically for specific branches of Engineering. Not only that, theirs even material (mostly video lectures) for semester 1 and semester 2 students. Videos are hoisted over Youtube. For the mobile browser the videos are available in 3GP format. Other format includes MP4 & FLV. Written materials are available in HTML and PDF format. These resources are a fruit of the Project named NPTEL funded by the Government. NPTEL or National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning is a project whose main purpose is to make India an Engineering Knowledge stronghold. Not only that, the site claims to deliver industries and teachers with resources which they can put into use. Since these video lectures and written materials are from the IITs and IIS Bangalore, no doubt that they would deliver the best. One can even download the videos and PDF format of materials.
Know more at www.nptel.iitm.ac.in
Similar to NPTEL project in India, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has been delivering free courses on engineering for more a decade now. These MIT materials are available at http://ocw.mit.edu ,why should I continue, simply visit the site and judge yourself. I bet you would find it zakkas
You don’t enroll into any course when you visit these sites. The MIT Courseware includes forum discussion and we can expect NPTEL to follow soon.
Hope to see lot more from NPTEL. Cheers ! !
