School projects

This project is again on hold indefinitely due to my busy works till next announcement.

Updated July 2018

This project has been delayed due to my busy workload and other unexpected circumstances but it is going on in the plan, and more than two cubic meter of books have been transported to Myanmar so far. There will be some changes in the way the project will work. It should not only be a study and research activities but also to discover the proper meanings, definitions, purposes, future, conservation and or sustainability, and production of few of what we find to be necessary for present and future.

The project will start small in late 2015 in the form of cooperation, sharing and learning over the Internet and occasional meetings.

We will start with students of senior high schools and colleges and universities from Myanmar, Thailand and Laos.

While we study the important topics and applications in the fields of Mathematics, Physics, Engineering and Life study at introductory and undergraduate level, we will also find projects to work on. Even though only those who live in Yangon and Bangkok may have access to our book collection we will be sharing a lot more information over the Internet.

Starting in December 2015 the following study are available for students via Internet (email).

- Introductory technical drawing in 2D and 3D

- Basic working drawing for wood work and machine elements

- Calculus I (differential calculus)

- Calculus II (integral calculus)

- Calculus III (multi-variable calculus)

- Introductory differential equations

- Introduction to discrete mathematics

- Introductory probability & statistics

- Newtonian Mechanics and application including introductory engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics

- Strength of materials

- Basic mechanism & design of machine elements

- Simple harmonic motion, mechanical vibration, mechanical wave, sound wave

- Topics from wave, light, optics, optical instrument

- Topics from electricity & magnetism, electric circuits

- Fluid mechanics and Thermodynamics are also in the plan but I will announce if and when I will have time for these important studies.

- Topics in study of world geography (as soon as we have a teacher for these topics)

- Topics in study of modern Physics

- Topics in Psychology and Philosophy (possibly late 2016 after we have a Psychology & Philosophy teacher)

Possible areas of projects and essays

- Bio mechanics discussion

- Design of children play structures (and toys) for mental/physical development using locally available materials and according to proper safety standards

- Axioms and postulates

- Logic, mathematical logics and reasoning

- Village mechanical workshop

- Wind turbine

If you live in South Asia and are studying these subjects with great interest and good purpose in the senior high school or college level, and would like to study and share the knowledge please email me at sheinli [at] yahoo [dot] com. Please include your one page resume, school names and location, and 10 to 15 lines of text telling something about your study & work in the near future. Please choose up to three subjects from above list.

The first year of on-line study from 2015 December to 2016 December are free and maximum number of students I will work with is 20. You will be part of the project and will study and contribute ideas and knowledge. You are also welcome to come up with some proposals for the study.
