My name is Aiden Stewart, and I am a rising senior at Wayne School of Engineering. I am also a dual enrollment student at Wayne Community College.
I created Mechanical Engineering Helper because I wanted to build something real, useful, and challenging. At first, I saw videos of people building websites and apps and thought, “I could do that.” That thought is usually how many of my projects begin. Instead of just thinking about it, I decided to start learning and building.
Mechanical engineering interests me because it allows me to work with my hands, experiment, tinker, and solve problems. I also like how mechanical engineering connects with many other fields I enjoy, including robotics, coding, design, physics, and problem-solving.
This website was created to help students learn engineering concepts through lessons, worked examples, quizzes, real-world applications, and experiment demonstrations. My goal is to make engineering topics easier to understand while also documenting my own learning process.
Building this site has required me to teach myself HTML, CSS, JavaScript, website organization, debugging, and how to turn engineering concepts into interactive learning tools.
One of my strongest traits is my hunger for knowledge and curiosity. When I become interested in something, I want to understand how it works and how I can build it myself. Even with a busy schedule, I taught myself coding because I simply decided I wanna build a website now simple as that.
That curiosity is what drives this project. Mechanical Engineering Helper is not just a finished product. It is an ongoing example of learning, experimenting, improving, and building through challenges not just for the user but also me as the builder.
I have strong ambitions to study engineering at a highly hands-on engineering school. MIT is one of my top goals because of its focus on building, experimentation, and problem-solving. I am also interested in schools such as Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, and NC State.
Some goals and experiences I have pursued include aiming for valedictorian, competing successfully in swimming, working as a lifeguard, and competing at the National History Day competition in Washington, D.C.
I hope Mechanical Engineering Helper becomes a free resource that helps students better understand engineering and STEM concepts. As I continue learning, I plan to keep adding more courses, diagrams, experiment videos, quizzes, tools, and real-world engineering examples.
Thank you for visiting Mechanical Engineering Helper and supporting the project.
