We’re jumping for joy again at DTC. We heard this week from the first of our Thermal & Fluid Systems participants to take the new CBT Mechanical Exam, and they passed!

“I took the Mechanical TFS CBT exam and I received a passing result. Towards the end of 2019, when I learned that my current career may have hit a roadblock and I needed to do something about it, I wasn’t sure where to start. I reached out to a coworker who is a former DTC student. He referred me to Dr. Tom’s Classroom, and I can’t thank him enough for it.

Almost 17 years after getting my graduate degree, very skeptical about my current learning abilities and not knowing what to expect, I began the course in late January 2020 and gradually worked my way through the 20 weeks of coursework. Having to learn just about every single Mechanical Engineering concept from scratch, I felt that the course seemed very tailor-made for someone like me.

There were lessons and subjects that I enjoyed and some that I didn’t care much for, but Dr. Tom made sure everything was broken down and simplified for anyone to comprehend. Also very helpful, was the reference handbook companion and not to mention the challenge problems and weekly quizzes. I also liked the fact that Dr. Tom didn’t sugarcoat anything and made it very clear that just enrolling in his class wasn’t going to be good enough and one had to put in the effort to make it through.

I can proudly say today, “The DTC TFS Course was most definitely well worth it.” I also want to thank the support folks at DTC for your timely responses and being super helpful over the past several weeks! Thank you all for doing what you do to help students like me achieve something that felt unachievable otherwise.” – R. Balasubramaniam, Houston, Texas

Dr. Tom and the DTC Team have worked tirelessly for the last two years to develop and implement the new Dr. Tom Method for the CBT exam. It required a complete overhaul of our courses. We knew that we had a winning method, but we are thrilled to have our confidence validated by our first participants.
