Difficulties in Engineering Classes(Portfolio 4)

The difficulties of engineering classes come in many form. Some of these difficulties are understanding the theories, familiarizing with the codes and applying codes or equations to problem. Usually these difficulties arise mainly due to the insufficient knowledge on the basics in engineering. In the course of studies, sometime I would tend to neglect on certain topics where I found them too boring or tough to cope. As a result, when the lecturer teaches more in deep in those topics, I would find it hard to understand in the lectures. In the engineering course, it differs from those business course and others non-engineering related courses. It is because in engineering it deals with more logics rather than hundred over pages of concepts. Therefore, to solve these difficulties in engineering course, I need to master well in the fundamental of engineering. Thus, I will be able to grasp hold of the logics used in engineering. In engineering course, the first step to master well in it is to understand the theory concept. Once only the theory concept is clear and make sense to me, I will then be able make to apply the concepts with the necessary equations to solve the problems. The theories in engineering course are usually short and supported with proofs or equations. In actual facts, what make studying engineering difficult is the complexity of the equations used and usually not the theories. Thus, at certain times, I am able to understand what the lecturers are teaching, but once they start to bring in complex equations, I would not be able to understand how and why they could derive with an answer using that complicated equations. Finally, it can be explained that to do well in engineering course, I have to build a strong foundation in engineering mathematics and continuing to learn the fundamentals well. If not, I will unable to understand the beauty of engineering.
