At the start of every review session, it is part of my routine to motivate students to perform in the best of their ability. I am not a motivational speaker, I simply share to my review students the principles lived by successful individuals who managed to act at their very best. I also throw to them the principles I personally believed that became instrumental in achieving my goals. What I'm sharing are things I picked up from reading, most of it are from entrepreneurs, investors, and sales persons. These things are less heard in engineering because most of the time, engineering students are bombarded with technical information in their stay at the university. My goal is to grow the seed of desire to top the board examination at the heart of my students, but most of all, I want them to live a successful life after their stay in the review center by holding positive mental attitude, a proper mind set, and the right character. Which only means that I want to make an impact to the life of my students in their short stay at the review center.
 

Any one who took an engineering board examination will agree with me that scientific calculator is our best friend during the examination. It will speed up our work and will allow us to go through the analysis of the problem. In most cases, solving the equation is not the real issue, it is to write the correct equation that matters. If we are able to determine the correct equation of a particular situation, the burden of that problem is over. Our next step is obviously to solve for the desired value. It is important to note that the correct answer can only be derived from the correct equation. To determine the correct equation is where should our brain go, not in finding the solution of that equation. You guess it right, we use our best friend, the scientific calculator, to do the task. Don't do manual calculation please, the examiner will not give you bonus points in finding the roots of
 

manually. Calculator can easily solve for the value of θ fast and accurate.
