"Le cours Automotive Engineering - How Cars Work par The Engineering Mindset est une excellente ressource pédagogique. Fidèle à leur style sur YouTube, les explications sont d'une clarté remarquable grâce à des animations 2D et 3D fluides qui permettent de visualiser l'invisible (flux de fluides, cycles de combustion, systèmes électriques). C'est idéal pour les débutants ou les étudiants en ingénierie qui souhaitent consolider leurs bases théoriques avec des schémas concrets et précis. Un incontournable pour comprendre la mécanique moderne sans être submergé par un jargon trop complexe."

I actually enjoyed the genesis of this course it was broken down to an atom which makes it lucid for me to understand and to enhance my academic and field experience
