I'm going to be studying for an engineering degree are there any videos that would benefit me before I begin?

    I wish you had specified exactly which kind of engineering are you going to study

    But if your major is electrical,mechanical or anything that needs working with real devices and machines the first step is definitely calculus make sure you know working with integrals and differentials very well as they will be used until the very end (trust me I'm graduating soon and I'm still using them in almost every course). After that you will need to study your physics and understand them thoroughly. If you need videos about these, you can try khan academy . But if you want to know what's ahead of you try some free courses from edx

    There is little you can do assuming you have the basics in chemistry, physics and math. Getting an engineering degree is all about being organized, disciplined and fully committed to study and do the assigned work.

    It would benefit you to learn how to get your information from books rather than videos. So buy a used copy of Bernard Grob's old "Basic Electronics" book, or of George Thomas's old calculus book, or of Halliday & Resnick's physics text.

    Study math, physics, and chemistry. Get used to learning conversion factors. If you have apples and you want oranges, you have to multiply by oranges/apples. This little concept is a big chunk of a lot of engineering problems and is not that hard, but requires discipline.

    Source(s): Been an engineer for decades, always write down units.

    SOME UNIVERSITY WEBSITE MIGHT HAVE IT, BUT MOSTLY ARE ADVERTISEMENTS WITH NICE IMAGES BUT WITHOUT REFLECT THE REAL LIFE IN ENGINEERING JOB.
