TECHNICIAN ENGINEERING 'MECHANICAL PRINCIPLES' (with Maths support)
This channel endeavours to support Level 3, 4 & 5 Technician Engineering students.
These videos contain 'full lecture' content, so quite lengthy.
Students’ feedback suggest the videos are ‘useful’, which is very pleasing to know. There are mistakes in some videos not yet corrected and sometimes terminology used (e.g. ‘negative’ and ‘minus’) is unfortunately conflated, but it is hoped this does not detract significantly from students' overall learning. Bibliographies are stated at the end of most videos.
This channel was created hastily due to the UK Covid-19 lockdown (April 2020), when HND students had to study 'Laplace transforms' to complete their BTEC L5 Further Maths unit. Laplace videos were very hurriedly (but not very professionally!) recorded to aid their self-study. Due to these dedicated students' positive engagement/feedback, further channel development was encouraged. My grateful thanks to them.

excellent videos you have on your channel, thoroughly explained and has helped a lot! I wondered if these topics also relate to the manufacturing engineering side? Many thanks
Thank you for the feedback and glad the videos have been of some help to you; these are just the lectures I use with my technician engineering students and relate to workbooks they are given. I’m not sure to which level of Manufacturing Engineering study you are referring but for example at BTEC HNC (i.e. Level 4) Manufacturing Engineering, I think core units require study of Engineering Mathematics and Engineering Science. I deliver the Engineering Maths unit and the first half of the Engineering Science unit. These Playlists are on the channel and include full lecture videos listed in the order I deliver the lectures. Thank you again. I wish you well with your studies.
Thank you for the classes. I would like to ask you, in which book can I find these exercises? I couldn't find them in your references.
In truth, I cannot remember now as these notes were initially created around 20 years ago and have been modified and extended over the years. The theory used would have been extracted from the reference sources; all I do in the video is try and explain the theory as best I can to Technician Engineering students. I may have written some of the questions myself to highlight certain aspects of the theory (e.g. the relationship between thin and thick cylinder theory) and some questions may even be from my notes taken during my own study days. The case study was based on an actual engineering problem from industry. If you want a full list of the questions used in this lecture series, I can e-mail you the actual workbook I use with my students, as these lecture videos are essentially based on the workbook content. Sorry I cannot respond more definitively to your query. Regards, Alan.
Great class!
Thank you. Hope the lectures were of some help to you.
Congratulations on the video and the lesson!
1:32 UA-cam quite literally sent this at a perfect time during my day.
Hope the lecture was of some use to you.
Beautiful !
Great video mate, thanks!
Thank you for the feedback. Hope it was of use to you.
Thank you Sir
You are very welcome. Hope it was of some use to you. Regards, A,
Thanks Alan, are you thinking of putting up the lectures for the other units - these are excellent and very helpful.
Hello Darren, I am pleased to hear the lecture was of some help to you. Unfortunately, I only have lectures for units I deliver to my College students, which predominantly relates to Technician Engineering Mathematics (L3, L4 & L5) and Mechanical Principles (L3, L4 & L5). I am currently working on a few more maths lecture videos related to algebraic transposition (mainly for students progressing direct to university from L3 study) but these are taking a while to finish as the videos are mainly recorded and edited in my own time. Thank you again for the feedback. I wish you well with your studies. Regards, Alan..
Great explanation and illustrative example. Thank you
Thank you for the comment. Very pleased it was of interest to you. This illustration was extracted from an actual industrial project (many years ago).
Jessuzzzz! Please stop telling us what you are going to do and just do it!
Thank you for the comment. It is interesting to know how the videos are perceived outside of my own cohort of technician engineering students. I shared your comments with my students and they understood your perspective but suggested the video made more sense if viewed alongside the workbook they use as part of the lecture series. Also, this video underpinned part of an assignment issued so I was trying to ensure the students had a comprehensive background resource, should they need to recap the lecture's subject matter. Most students tend to find this topic area quite difficult and their assignment question is very heavily contextualised. Anyway, thank you again for the feedback. Regards, A.
@@alancarter4122honest feedback can be useful, rather than just vanishing. Good luck with your course.
Thank you for these superb videos!
Thank you for the kind comment. Very pleased, if videos have been of some help to you in your studies. Best wishes.
can you please share the powerpoint?
Unfortunately, I did not create a PowerPoint presentation, it was in ActiveInspire, sorry.
thank you for uploading the video, very comprehensive.
hiya is this also suitable for level 4 HNC electrical engineering?
Hi Siraaj, this ‘Algebra revision’ lecture video is intended for my ex-Level 3 Technician Engineering students to help them with recapping underpinning mathematical techniques required for the RQF HNC Level 4 Unit 2 ‘Engineering Maths’. In our RQF BTEC programmes, the Maths unit is the same for both electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines. Hope this helps. Regards, Alan.
😂 youtube algo showed this in the frontpage atleast 10 times now and i never learned mech after completing my school E: this is really nice lecture.... ngl
My apologies for the video continually showing in the front page, I have to say I do not understand how the algorithm functions. I am just currently populating some playlists in preparation for the new academic year so hope this does not happen to you again. Thank you for your comment though, very kind. There are three more lectures in this series to upload (when time allows).
@@alancarter4122 😅 why you apologizing? it is not a problem with you right... you are lectures are really good... hope more people find this...
@@vaisakh_km Thank you, your comments are much appreciated.
This paper seems so much easier than November 2022 Cambridge International AS-Level Maths Paper 13 and June 2023 Paper 12? AS-Level Maths seems so much harder than this within the same level (Level 3)?

Thanks mate this was really helpful In my studies.
Thank you, very pleased to know this was of use. The videos uplaoded are generally the full length lectures I deliver to my College students, so not really expecting them to be of significant interest or relevance to anyone outside of this circle, so again, pleased if of use to you. Thnak you. Regards, Alan.
very helpful thank you
Thank you. Glad it was helpful to you.
Great lesson Alan. After watching this I now know the difference between a single and double sheer joints. Thanks.
Very welcome. Glad it was of use to you.
