Strategy to clear Principle of Flight exam.

I'm noticing frequent messages/posts from students & teachers seeking advise regarding strategy to clear/teach Principle of Flight. Candidates are worrying a lot because AeSI surprised everyone by last year's question paper. Isn't it ?

I remember my old days when my grand father used to narrate stories of Ali Baba & Shek Chilli to me. Even though I don't remember the stories which I read in my book but I remember each & every story shared by my grand father.
I do understand that being a student, reading the history of flight will make you sleep but I'm confident that if any teacher will narrate it like a grand father so you'll remember at least 60% of it in the examination hall.

1) Say your teachers to be grand father and narrate the history of flight as a story to you once in a week.
(I'm sure it'll help you to answer unexpected questions.)
2) Principle of flight is a subject where the way you answer does matter a lot.
- Make diagram in every reasoning.
- Don't forget naming each part of the diagram.
- To the point answer will help you in getting more marks.
- Rather than answering continuously in a paragraph, make points and answer accordingly.
- Use flow charts, graphs and other methods to answer in a better way.
3) Collect all modified syllabus question papers of Principle of Flight, Write all reasoning in a separate note book. & Practice it as many times as possible. Don't practice it orally, Try to write and check it yourself.
4) Truss : It is very important & simple as well. Devote a week for this topic & practice as many questions as possible. It is a part of the paper where you may get full marks.
5) Give examples in support of your answer.
6) Many students follow tradition of not preparing for "Aircraft Systems". But the reality is that it is the most easiest unit of this paper. Use your available resources & have a better command on Aircraft Systems as well.
7) Follow the above 6 points without failure.

Besides it don't forget to check "Key to clear AeSI".
In case if you want to add-on something, so comments are welcome. Let's discuss !

3 ways to beat AeSI's uncertainty!!

As you begin your journey with AeSI for yet another semester, here are
3 things to keep in mind that will help you beat AeSI's uncertainty!!


Do not believe in the previous years question papers, instead use a
syllabus book. Just studying with an eye on the previous years
questions is sure shot way of drowning. Instead use syllabus book to
guide you, what to study. Use the question papers to regularly check
your progress.

Go under the topics. Study with your mind.
Just mugging up all the topics, without understanding anything won't
help you. A all night haul before the exam may cruise you out of that
exam, but in the long run, you will need that knowledge if you want to
be an engineer. So study with your mind. Understand and study.

Be prepared. AeSI's is like a tenis match where they want to exhaust
you. They want you to loose, they want to out play you. Just knowing
this and keeping this in mind while studying and preparing for it can
help you in tackling the odd ball serves, that AeSI dishes out!!


So don't let AeSI to exhaust you, throw you off balnce and score
against you. Beat the odds by preparations!!

Good luck!!

Different ways to study for exams and which you can choose?

There are lot of ways to study for exams. Different people have
different inclination and routes.

So what's your way to study for exams?

Do you prefer learning by mouthing all the words you are reading or do
you study in complete silence?

Do you enjoy studying indoors or outdoors?

Do you love working with a textbook or a rough copy?

Do you like Reading from notes or from the book?

Do you read the difficult subjects before the simple onces?

Do you keep syllabus book with you or you do not?

Do you simply follow class lectures or have your own reference
materials?

Do you use Internet in your studies or you do not think it's not much
of use?

Do you study with examination paper or without?

Do you devote complete attention to one subject or you mix and match?

Do you study early in the morning or late at night?

Do you study with pen or paper or just read everything?

The point of the post is there are as many ways to study for an exam
as there are students. So it doesn't matter how, where, and when you
study.

What really matter is that you are consistent in your approach
whatever it is.

If you like studying early in the day, so be it. Be consistent with it.

If you love Reading on the rooftop all alone, so be it as long as you
are consistent.

Consistency is the magic!! The ingredient for success in any practise.
So aim for that and every thing else will fall in place.


Good luck for your exams!!

My biggest mistakes in AeSI as a student

We all make mistakes. Some small, some big, some significant, some
trivial, but if we learning something from them then they are all worth.

Here In this series of post I will present some of my biggest mistakes
of my AeSI days!


1. Once I skipped exams thinking I am not prepared well. It was
flights paper and I thought I was not ready and I skipped the exam on
last moment and then paid the punishment for it for two more semester.

2. Not studying by the syllabus book. Again in flight I studied
everything that was taught in class, I had all the notes, I studied
from Anderson, kermode, and all other books and when I went to the
exam hall, I saw 30 percentage of question coming out of syllabus. I
cursed aesi.

And when I come home and tried verify any claim of outside of syllabus
question paper I saw how untrue that was. Those questions came from
the topics that were listed in the syllabus book. I was shocked that
some of the questions came from topics that were listed in the very
first line of syllabus.


3. Another big mistake that i did was I stopped following a teacher. I
thought he is not teaching well and I stopped attending his clases.
This didn't improve my studies but it nose dived the discipline of the
tutor.

As the tutor rolled over, I deterioted in that subject.


This were my biggest mistakes as an aesi student. I will keep this
theme alive and will post more on my other mistakes.

Well this were mine,now tell me about your biggest mistake in society?

How to accelerate your GATE preparation?

Gate 2010 exams are nearing and by now you want to accelerate your
gate 2010 preparation. You want to push through the syllabus and get
more out of your study time.

Then here's a simple but effective technique to accelerate the pace of
your learning.

For this to work. You are required to have read the topics at least
once. You need to know what is where and what is what of the gate
syllabus.

The technique is to "take open book test" once you have covered some
topics or part of the syllabus!!

Simple but works everytime.

Gather 4 textbooks or question papers of your chosen subjects and
randomly take a open book test.

Atempt the questions without seeing the book. If stuck, try hard to
remember the answer and if no success then only see the book. Ater
seeing write down the answer without peeping at the answer again!!

Do it enough time and you will see how much you can cover in shot span
of time. Do it with all the topics, do it several times and you will
see how testing yourself, this way, increases your learning capacity.

Why it works I don't know! But it works. I have used this countless
times in my studies in AeSI!

And while selecting questions randomly, don't read the question you
are selecting. Just think of some random numbers and answer questions
against those numbers.

Hope you will at least give this simple exercise a go. Go test for
yourself.

And best of luck !!

Five ways of study to crack AeSI exams

I have already restated all this before but again it needs a reminder.
Aesi is tough. It needs more time, more effort and more concentrated
effort. So here are five simple yet powerful ways that one can
incorporate in his or her study habits to crack AeSI.

1. Study with the syllabus book. Read all the topics. Pick and
studying just what is taught in the class is not sufficient, one need
to study systematicly and cover all the topics listed in the syllabus
book. It did cost me twice in my aesi exams so don't ignore the
syllabus book. Read more about it by clicking http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=syllabus+book


2. Go for the basic theory. Master it, digest it, marinate on it, chew
it. Once all this is done go for the questions, just reading onces and
solving tons of questions won't help. Understand and digest the basics
and then go for the questions. Read more about it by clicking http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=basic+theory

3. Pen and paper study. Don't just use your mind and fingers to read
and study. Get a rough copy and pen. Draw brainstrom and study. Don't
just write the definitions draw them, connect the new info with the
already present information. Connect different topics and strengthen
your understanding and cement your concepts. Read more about it by
clicking http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=study+tips

4. Revise everyday, every topic. Whatever new you study revise it the
next day, the next week and thereafter. This helps you to keep you
immersed in the subject. Helps you quicly connect the new to the old
and during exam times helps your recall much more easily. Read more
about it by clicking http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=revision

5. Read thoroughly. Read the full chapters. Read the full text. This
is where the main core is. Justing reading once and concentrating on
solving questions, papers won't help you. Read throroughly. Read
thrice. This is the only way to get to imprint what you read on your
minds canvas forever. This is what will help you in the long run. Aim
for the marathon than sprinting for the exams. Read more about it by
clicking http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=amaesi+exams


These are some of the things one should keep in mind and follow to
pass aesi exams!!!

How to prepare for aeronautical engineering GATE exam?

Read indtroduction to flights by John d Anderson. That's the short
and simple answer!

Will it be enough? By all means, no!!!!! But that book is a good
starting point and can help you in recall, comprehension and
application type of questions of gate.

Apart from this book recomendation, I would say the best way to study
for gate aerospace is study individual topics from the syllabus from
different standard books and pose short quiz questions on all the
things that you read. Use back questions? Section and topics to pose
mini questions. Answer them and onces you are confident in the topic
move ahead.


The main point I want to make is don't do straight question answer
study, read the topics that are in the syllabus, understand them, pose
questions from those understanding and then move to quiz questions.

Solving 10 thousand questions won't help unless you understand the
basics and going from basics is much more easier and time saving and
effecient way to study for any exam.

Go for high quality books in AeSI

In the AeSI yahoo group, Senthil kumar, rightly pointed out that
people shouldn't concentrate on books like Sharma and Sharma etc.
Instead they should read the books like sutton, anderson etc.

His arguments and observations are right on. Most of the Indian author
books are just diluted, exam-ready materials with very less emphasis
on concepts but more on exam recipes.

So go for the standard books. If you want a source for the book then
look into the syllabus book. It does a good job listing all high
quality books.

Just like tutors, select your base book with care. Go for the book
that has high potential instead of plucking the ready made dishes
served by most of the regional authored books.


Read more why selecting base book is important by following the link
given below.

5 things not to do in AeSI for AMAeSI exams

In today's post I will discuss 5 things NOT to do when you are in AeSI
and aiming to clear AMAeSI exams. They are from my experience of going
through aesi. Hope they will chart a path for you and you will avoid
them in your journey.

1. Don't skip the in basics
I did this in fluids and though I passed the subject in first attempt,
but I had a tough time when I encountered those basics again in
aerodynamics-1. So remember to cover the basics before you delve
deeper. In mathematics II, basics came handy for me as the paper
revolved around it.

2. Don't forget the syllabus book
As discussed in many previous post, you will automate and streamline
your study schdule if you study a subject with the syllabus book. Not
only syllabus gives all the topics in logical order but it will make
sure you don't miss any.

Further reading
Http://my-aesi.blogspot.com/search?q=syllabus

3. Don't skip exams, whatever be your preparation.
This happened to me, I thought I have not prepared well for principles
of flights and so I didn't go to the examination hall. That turned out
to be a grave mistake when I saw the question paper, later that
evening. And that mistake cost me two semester in which I had to study
flights. So whatever be your preparation, don't skip the exams. If
nothing more you will train your mind to be the examination hall.

4. Don't lie about your results.
After the exams don't lie about your results especially from your near
and dear onces. I have seen how students falsedisguise their results
and cause tension and anxiety in them. This lie snowballs and not only
spoils your next attempt but also hurts your near and dear once when
they come to know about it. I have never done this and this had kept
me inso many surprises that AeSI threw at me during my days of AMAeSI.

5. Don't be an island.
Since AeSI has no proper institution, meeting and having lots of
seniors and friends and network is rare. So form relationship. Use
internet, this website, ouraesi, aesi and aesiaa groups to be
connected to the aesi community!! In fact this website and ouraesi
sprang to make sure aesi students and graduates do not remain in an
island. So get involved and connect.


So that's it. Hope you will gain something out of this. Want to

How to Study in 30 days

In my mail I had quite a few querries from some students of AeSI who
say they have less time and how can they utilize the time so that they
pass the 3 or 4 subject they are appearing for this time.

I believe that regular consistent study is the best way. But I know
life throws circumstances when you are into situations where you begin
your studies just days ahead of exams. For those situations here is
the list of things i would do.

Take it as a challenge.
Take the task as a challenge . Think it as a goal that you have to
reach. Make aggressive changes in your daily routine to get to this
challenge. Shun self pity and make moves to get the maximum of your
time. Time and productively with which you will study is the key.


Concentrate on two subjects a mix will be better.
Doing 3 or 4 subjects is lot. Since time is limited. It's better to
Choose two subjects and give your maximum attention to them. It's
better to be passing two subjects than stuggling with time to study
all 4. Bake two subjects carefully rather than having all four
subjects half baked.

While choosing the subjects, choose subjects that are different. One
theory based one numerical based. This way you can divide your time
between this two and won't feel bored studying the subjects most of
the time.

Take the syllabus book.
As always, with the subjects choosen get the syllabus book and begin
your exam preparation. Cover the topics as listed in the syllabus book.


Read all the already read and previously read stuff. Complete the
basics of all the topics. Study with a plan. Study with pen and paper.
Draw and make connections on what you are studying.


Take the question paper solve the easy parts.


Don't plan to cover all but get to cover 80%

Plan a schedule and action on how to tackle all the different types of
question you get in that particular subject


Begin with simple stuff
Begin with the known. To retain what you learnt revise daily. Talk
about the topics you study. Connect new topics with the old topics
that you already know.

Well this are some of stuff that came to my mind as I read few recent
exam related study queries that I got. Hope this will help you guys.

Look under the hood

As I wrote the last post asking all giving AMAeSI exams to have the
syllabus book in hand while preparing, I missed one point, and I want
to make it in this post.

Look under the hood!! Don't just study the formulas or the theory.
Look under the hood. See why it works? How that formulae applies in
practice. See the basics on how it came to that point? This way you
will not only remember it better but you will have much more deeper
understanding of the topic you are studying.

Keep your basics rights everything else will follow. They have a
saying in English, mind your pennies and pound will manage themselves.
Same goes for studies, mind your basics and you are on your way to
good marks and a bright professional career!!

Yes looking under the hood looks complicated, it takes time but do it
anyways it's only when you see the inner working you begin to truely
understand what you are studying!!

AeSI exams: Don't forget the syllabus book

It's may and it's the time when aesi students are mostly attached to
the books, it's the time when books are integral part of aesi students
life. Yes books do feature everytine but this is one time when you see
more books related to studies on aesi students hand. Well this was the
way it was when I was in aesi, hope it's the same now!!

What I want to tell everyone studying for the upcomming aesi amaesi
exams is get the syllabus book in hand when you study.

I have two instances in my aesi exam experience that not looking at
the aesi syllabus book cost me 6 months!! So keep the aesi syllabus
book handy!! If you don't have it, look for it, xerox it but keep it
open when you study for the exams!!! I can't emphasize it more!!

Most of the time questions in exams are on the patterns of how
syllabus is organized. So take advantage of this fact!!!

Good luck with your preparation. Want more exam and study tips go to

How to pass AeSI exams?

  • Don't study, yes seriously don't study.
  • Don't mug.
  • Don't setup a routine.
  • Don't bother attending classes.
  • Don't give a damn to subjects.
  • Don't look at the syllabus book.
  • Don't open your books.
  • Don't write down what you learn.
  • Don't keep records?
  • Don’t discuss what you study?


Yes seriously if you do any of the thing you will never pass. So do everything that is opposite.

The only way to pass AMAeSI, just like everything else, is put in the time.

Surprises

Standing at the other side of AeSI, I can tell you students out there. Hang in there. Yes its frustrating, the examination and the results most of the time do not match. Sometimes questions that came are not meant for exams, Sometime 80% of the questions are coming form a  single topic, or sometime the question requires a long explanation but has only tiny marks are allocated to it.

Sometimes the questions are just the repeat of the last semester  questions. Sometimes its just the combination of 2 or 3 papers question picked and juggled and sometimes its entirely new in pattern and topics selected.

Studying does make you tackle all this but what is needed is the mental discipline, mental effort to see through the surprise.

Natrajan Sir once explained the best way to tackle this is to keep yourself  prepared. expect to be surprised then only you won’t be surprised. One gets surprised only when he/she is too concentrated on the examination papers and shuns the syllabus book. So the best strategy is to begin with the syllabus book, then as you progress in your studies get question papers onboard.

Question papers are to give you a familiarity of the exams, they are there to check yourself on your preparation. Don’t fix too much on the question paper and the pattern, don’t study based on what question papers seem to suggest, study according to the syllabus book.

Make syllabus book your friend

Collecting books will not help you... go with the one book that is available.. use it as your base book and take up the syllabus book. its more important,..

Don't decipher the syllabus from the previous year's question papers take a proper syllabus book and then move ahead.

I had to waste a full semester because I forgot or by passed this simple fact. This cost me 6 months as i have to give principle of flights exams again. It so happened that i thought i was well prepared for flights exams, I have covered all topics, even in class that I took I did everything

but then when I was handed the question paper I saw that more than 30 marks came from a different section that I have not touched. My first reaction was its out of syllabus....as I came to room the first thing I did was to get the syllabus book and was amazed that section was there in the syllabus book and the questions they asked came directly from the topics mentioned there.

So my advice to all AeSI students is go ahead and bring that syllabus book to your regular study table and open it.. study from it. Refer it often and study....

Should I skip applied mechanics

Someone recently asked...

my-aesi "Which is the best book for section a maths for applied mechanics in section-A or can I avoid this and still pass? "

 

Its not his question that intrigued me, its his latter comment about avoiding the section that made me roll my eyes..  wow see here is a man or should I say boy who wants to risk his 6 months by not studying a particular subject.

As far as I know AeSI, it is full of surprises, sometimes 80% of the syllabus is based on one particular section of the subjects, and sometimes 80% of the papers just the Xerox copy of previous semesters paper... so I think this guy will be taking a risk..... and that's not cool.

If you just want to pass why bother so much.. if your  intention is just to get by then why ask such questions just get by... but if you truly want to learn the topic and become an all round engineer, then think beyond the exams.... exams are just a check on your knowledge... but the real thing is how that will make you a better engineer. That's the big picture my friend... see that and you will know the answer if you need to study that particular section or not!!

3 Websites that Every AeSI Students Should Visit


What was the most fascinating thing about mahabharat? I don’t know about you but for me, it was the different dhanushban that they kept in there tarkesh!!! I was fascinated by the way they used so much arrows and all of them having different powers…some brought rain, other rained fire and so on…..

Giving AeSI exams is another mahabharat, a fight between you and AeSI With its unexpected out of syllabus question, different pattern and unexpected surprises, the AeSI guys has its share of different arrows but what about AeSI students. Depending on one or two text book is not enough. Even solving tons of previous question papers is not alone, you will need more. And here I present 3 websites that every AeSI should add to his tarkesh!!!


The first one undoubtedly is the wikipedia. It’s the best! I have seen that many of the questions that students ask in OURAESI can directly be answered if they search it in wikipedia. It’s truly great. I use it all the time. Now in my office whenever I am bore I just get my browser and hit this website to get to a topic that I take fancy of that time. My recent visits were related to torque, continuity equations etc…

Another site that I would suggest is the MIT opencourseware aerospace material. This one is another resource where you can learn more about the topics that you are studying. It’s another great resource to see a different perspective of the topic that you are studying.

And last of all I would recommend the newly launched and very useful IIT lectures that I posted some days back. The most beautiful thing about the whole IIT lectures is they are video format. As they say a picture is worth thousand words then this lectures are a whole book. See actual IIT professors teach you the topics. The best part about IIT lectures is that many of these lectures closely resemble the syllabus of AeSI and so they are extra benefit. So if you can see this hour long lectures you about the topics you are studying, they will be most beneficial.

These are the top 3 websites that I will recommend to each and every AeSI students. Though I have many more of which I will post latter. But you people do mention some of the other websites that you use....

Top Stories at MY-AESI for the Month of July


my-aesi top catia nastran stories July is the month when student of AeSI are free, not with Colgate tooth paste. But free from studies :). After the exams either they are home or are pursuing other interests. For some it’s the month to come to Bangalore for further training and other stuff. So I thought lets check what were the most popular pages of my-aesi this time and this is the list of the pages that were popular July month on my-aesi.


Special information for AeSI students
This is an information I posted about AeSI ‘s announcement of not continuing the old syllabus. So from this semester onward, there will be no distinction between modified and un-modified syllabus.


What are your views for the modified and unmodified syllabus? In one community that I am member of most of members were in favor of the modified syllabus. I have had a glance at that syllabus and I guess it’s more relevant and structured and although you get more subjects but it includes good stuff and is really well. If I were to do AeSI again, I will choose the modified syllabus.



Where can i learn NASTRAN and CATIA?
This is an old post that keeps popping out. It was the post that I wrote back in June 2005 after the AeSI exams and waiting for AeSI results to be announced. It was the time when I was lazing around in my home town Kolkata and was searching for a CATIA and NASTRAN institute. I researched some of them and travel to some and that post basically sums up my conclusions. It’s still relevant and I hope to add to that topic as soon as I get time. I hope some of you guys who are in this phase of searching and are researching can update us all by putting in your comments in that post and thus making the post more relevant.

Learn CATIA with this book!
This is a fairly a new post that I remember I wrote while my daughter was playing in my lap. It’s about CATIA book that one can use while learning the software. Lots of tutorials are available in torrents for CATIA, but as my friend Kuldeep said, a book is a book and if you truly want learning then nothing can beat the book in hand experience. Read the post for other links to CATIA model that you can practice and learn.


What's common in Beijing 2008 Olympics and Aerospace!
This post was about the thing that Beijing Olympics 2008 and Aerospace has common. Read the post to find out more.


What is DRDO SET? and Are you giving DRDO SET exams?
This are fairly recent posts, where I was wondering why AeSI folks have stopped talking about it. Has DRDO lost its charm among the AeSI folks? Here I also presented experience of former AeSI’ans who did crack the exam and lived to tell us there experience at the DRDO interview……read it for some interview giving tips.


What is the best place to study for AeSI?
Perhaps it’s the buzz of aerospace; perhaps it is the news of aerospace companies getting preferred supplier tags or something. There were many queries from students of class 12 who want to do aeronautical engineer…. And many asked about the colleges of AMAeSI and what is AMAeSI. So the above post was the snapshot of the discussion that were going on the yahoo AeSI groups about the best place to study for AeSI.




Future of aeronautical engineer!
A relevant post that will truly inspire you. A post where bishnujee points out some of the things that I really feel close to.

Please do visit the links and comment and make this pages more relevant, so that when another AeSI folk is searching for a CATIA or NASTRAN institute he doesn’t have to wonder around!
