Foundr Guide started from a simple frustration. Mechanical engineering is often taught by jumping straight into formulas and procedures, leaving learners unsure about where those equations come from, what assumptions they rely on, or when they actually apply.
Many students can solve problems on paper, yet still feel lost when faced with real situations. Foundr Guide exists to bridge that gap.
At its core, Foundr Guide is about thinking clearly before calculating. Instead of treating formulas and software as starting points, the focus is on physical intuition, assumptions, and cause-and-effect relationships.
Equations and tools matter, but only after the underlying reasoning is clear. The goal is not to replace textbooks or professional software, but to help learners build the mental models that make those resources meaningful.
Foundr Guide is being built slowly and intentionally. Over time, it aims to grow into a space that helps learners develop intuition around core mechanical engineering concepts and explore how changing assumptions or parameters affects physical behavior.
The longer-term direction includes helping learners connect real-world situations to appropriate models and equations, and understand when analytical reasoning is sufficient versus when software tools genuinely add value.
Direction is guided by real feedback rather than fixed roadmaps.
Foundr Guide is for students, exam aspirants, researchers, and curious engineers who care more about understanding than shortcuts.
Foundr Guide is an independent, early-stage project. It is not a finished product, and it is not trying to be everything at once.
It is a work in progress, shaped by careful thinking, experimentation, and feedback from learners along the way.
