Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: How is the Belinskis Engineering Electronics course any different from anything that I can find on Udemy / Coursera or even YouTube?
A: It’s 3 level answer: (1) Our electronics engineering course is made such that students look at a real life problem first, then evaluate what the problem consists of, and only then dive into calculations and theories to solve the issue: the exact inverse of traditional lectures; (2) the course is designed around the electronics kit, which has all of the components one needs in order to build along with the course material, and also try out their own ideas; and (3) our students get direct access to professionals and other peers on our private Discord server. Students get to directly influence the contents of future courses. Real-life applications, practical approach, direct feedback, and networking possibilities.
Q: What is the added value of the Development Kit?
A: The development kit allows the student to learn hands-on. It allows the student to learn by touching and even smelling the equipment. People remember more of what they smell or feel rather than what they see or hear, and the combination of the kit and the course allows for all of these senses to be present, thus solidifying the learning experience.
Q: What is the added value of the Community?
A: Quite simple: it is the place, where in real-time you can communicate with fellow students, professional engineers and other tech enthusiasts. The goal for the community is to become the central hub for tech-talk and tech-related networking.
Q: Why create another online course platform?
A: There is currently very little amount of qualitative, constructed and practical engineering courses on the internet. All of them are outdated, where the methodology is: definition -> principle -> formula -> theoretical exercise -> (sometimes) practical exercise. We want to give people the opportunity to learn to think like engineers, which, is the exact opposite of what the traditional education teaches. Our methods, by extension, opens up one’s world-view and evolve one’s critical and analytical thinking capabilities.
Q: I currently see only an Electronic Engineering course. Will there be more courses?
A: Definitely. We are currently working on a Software Engineering course.
