Engineering flashcards: mechanical, electrical, civil and chemical, from basics to advanced
Every engineering field rests on a core of laws, formulas and terms you need on demand, from free-body diagrams and Ohm’s law to soil mechanics and reactor design. These decks cover mechanical, electrical, civil and chemical engineering at three levels each, so you can start with the basics and work up to upper-level courses.
- Three levels per fieldBeginner, intermediate and advanced decks build on each other, from first-year concepts to upper-level courses.
- Typeset formulasEquations render with KaTeX, with a note on what the symbols mean and their units.
- Four disciplinesMechanical, electrical, civil and chemical engineering, side by side.

Advanced civil engineering: indeterminate analysis, prestressing, seismic design, consolidation, slope stability, pile capacity, pavements and limit states.
50 cardsChemical engineering basics
The first ideas in chemical engineering: mass balances, stoichiometry, conversion and yield, gas laws, pressure and units, and the main process equipment.
50 cardsIntermediate chemical engineering
The core chemical engineering courses: energy balances, phase equilibrium, distillation, fluid flow, heat transfer, kinetics, reactor design and control.
50 cardsAdvanced chemical engineering
Upper-level chemical engineering: reactor design, transport analogies, phase and reaction equilibrium, shortcut distillation, control, safety and economics.
50 cardsHow spaced repetition works
- Step 1See a cardRecall the answer before you flip it. Effortful recall is what builds memory.
- Step 2Grade yourselfAgain, Hard, Good or Easy. Each answer sets when the card comes back.
- Step 3Review just in timeCards return right before you would forget them: minutes, then days, then months.
Frequently asked questions
Which engineering fields are covered?
Mechanical, electrical, civil and chemical engineering, each with a beginner, an intermediate and an advanced deck of 50 cards.
Where should I start?
With the basics deck of your field. The intermediate decks assume first-year math and physics, and the advanced decks assume the core courses.
Are flashcards enough to prepare for an engineering exam?
They make definitions and formulas automatic. Pair them with worked problems, which is where exams test you.
Is it free?
Yes. You can practice every deck without an account; a free account keeps your progress and schedule.
