Great prof, super clear criteria on assignments. Clearly cares about his students, but had an excellent balance between answering questions in class versus teaching the material. Easy midterm and final if you prepared accordingly.

Overall pretty easy course. You can get by not going to the lectures if you have access to the notes. Midterm and final were both easy. Decent amount of homework/assignments, but manageable compared to the other courses. This was the easiest and most enjoyable course in first year IMO.

Dr. Eshaghi is great. The class is very easy and requires very little skill. The recorded lectures are short and sweet, and his live lectures are very interesting (zucchini). As long as you submit the assignments and you can draw with a ruler, you're fine. The only issue was the TA's and the group projects, just pray you get good partners.

He is very well organized and knowledgeable. He loves his job and does his best to have quality lectures. I highly recommend him.

The Prof is really good at explaining the concepts and material. Unfortunately if you're significantly bad at drawing like me you're going to struggle a bit. The assignments used to take me hours to finish because I was slow at drawing and had to redo the drawing multiple times. If your group partners are good then the project is a breeze.

This man comes to lectures absolutely dripped out, great prof

he got drip fr his midterm was mental tho

Very friendly, the goat (greatest of all time), super helpful, gives lots of moments for extra marks to be given as long as you participate with quizzes he hands out.

Drippiest prof. Unintentionally hilarious. Easy class, pretty easy grading. Lectures are not needed but he does give extra credit to those who write in lecture quizzes.

Goat prof. A gem in the engineering department. Absolutely Hilarious and has crazy drip. Gives out tons of extra credit aslong as you write the lecture quizzes. Gonna miss this guy.

This professor is fun and very cool. He makes this course very easy and amazing, and he made it very easy for understanding...I want this professor again.

Mehdi was the G.O.A.T. he was drippy af and the best prof out there made a tough midterm exam tbh but its fine hes still the GOAT

Based gigachad

This professor was not the course coordinator when submitting this review. Which is why I am submitting my review before the final exam. I had Mehdi first year, because he was teaching 1047, I saw his lectures as a joke. However, I was extremely surprised to see how well he teaches fluids. Lectures are at a good pace, and he does lots of example.

Took his Dynamics course in the early summer. His lectures were easy to follow and he's very chalkboard heavy, he rarely used the projector, which means it was easy to follow the thought process for problem-solving. He solves many problems in lectures and uses examples from practice problems in exams. Very approachable and fair. Overall great prof.

Mehdi was an excellent professor. He is a very nice guy and is very lenient in terms of marking. Would 100% like to have him as a professor again.

Attendance isn't mandatory but if you want a better understanding of the materials you should go. He's a naturally funny person and made lectures enjoyable.

medhi told me to break my glasses for a 3 piece assignment. recommend using a take apart object instead

Iconic prof. His class is genuinely enjoyable and he literally brought a smoke machine one day. The material is easy overall but the grading on exams is pretty tough

Awesome prof, makes class enjoyable.

Very chill prof, entertaining and helpful lectures, encourages questions and gives great feedback. 10/10. Medhi's the GOAT

Such an unintentionally funny prof, whole class loved him.

He was absolutely hilarious and his lectures were something I looked forward to. he made the content enjoyable, and had a great teaching style.

one of the best mech and aero profs

Attending lectures helped me a lot to do well in this class. The course was one of the toughest courses but Prof Mehdi made it easy to follow and understand. He always tries to summarize the lecture. Mehdi is the best.

Mehdi is amazing. I love his teaching style. He combined white board, PPT and in-class experiments to teach the contents.

Mehdi was easily the best professor at Carleton. His lectures were fun and most importantly were easy to understand. Participation matters because he gives tips and tricks on how to solve a question and how to visualize 3D objects. I don't know about other professors but, whoever it might be, I'm pretty sure they won't be as good as Mehdi.

he is goat in the department

Incredible guy -- easily my favourite professor at Carleton. Incredibly engaging and charismatic, and makes it his mission to make sure that you understand the material before he moves on. Don't hesitate to answer him when he asks the class if you understand -- he's super friendly and helpful. 11/10

Look, ECOR 1047 is a CEAB course, it's basically introduction to CAD and accurate hand-drawing. His final exam (nor midterm) do not involve CAD, which is fair since not all Uni students can afford a decent laptop (and that's a fact). However, there is (probably CEAB-related) a project using CAD Fusion 360 by Autodesk, which you have a Computer Lab.

Great prof, although I had him for ECOR 1047, I did have him as a guest lecturer for 2300 and he was the best prof I had up to that point. Actually brings in experiments to show how fluid mechanics works in class and his tests are very reasonable.

Mehdi the GOAT

Mehdi is an amazing prof i love that guy although 1047 is a poopy ahh course ong bruh. He has pop quizzes that is bonus percent so go to his lectures adi.

While his Dynamics lectures can be hard to follow sometimes he usually manages to throw in some jokes that lighten the mood. What wasn't a joke, however, was the final for this course, which was quite difficult compared to the midterms. Doing well in this class requires many hours of practice.

Amazing professor! Knew everyone thought of 1047 as a joke course and went with it. He makes lots of jokes and the course is extremely easy. I heard the other prof was way harder, so if you're taking 1047, register with Mehdi.

He is a good professor that makes sure u understand the material. he makes sure you engage in class and explains concepts well

Chill course, if you're competent this course won't cause you much stress and this prof knows that. Dumb questions DO exist in his class and if you ask one he WILL make a joke out of you. Will teach you more about investing than Vis-Com.

His TA's grade like you owe them money. Other than that, Mehdi is very kind and teaches this class well.

He is going great job considering the lecture situation. Almost 400 students in a lecture!!! Is it possible to please all? For sure no, but he was great. I highly recommend him. You may be able to switch PA sections. Go with better TAs.

This is a bird course and he knows it and doesn't expect much work from you. can be funny at times and makes the boring lectures a bit better

The midterm grades were so good. Maybe scaled up a bit. But final was difficult. Requires study hard. Mehdi is always available to help. He scheduled me several office hours during the semester.

I love his visual demonstrations!. They are phenomenal. Several simple experiments in the lectures help with better understanding of materials.

Optimization Course was one my best at Carleton. I believe it is mostly because of the instructor.

He is great in finite element course. Very knowledgeable. So fun. You laugh a lot. I really enjoyed the lectures even though they were on Friday evening.

I failed the course, but it was my fault. He had posted some similar problems already on Brightspace. 6 weeks is very short for such a difficult course.

He is doing great in Engineering Vibrations Course. Very knowledgeable in the field

It is a good elective course. You learn something useful. Mehdi is fun. You enjoy the lectures.

Pretty hard course in general (60%) fail rate but if you study for it you'll be fine, he posts plenty of practice problems so just do those and go to the lectures. Funny asf lol

Did a good job explaining the course content. The exams were vey hard though, harder than the practice problems given.

Mehdi's Fluids course is awesome. Good lectures with several experiments within the lectures.

Suprisingly, 1048 Medhi is different from 2300 Medhi. Medhi in 2300 has great notes, engaging lectures and relatively easy opportunities for marks. Medhi cares about how he teaches and always asks for feedback. He knows he comes off mean sometimes so he started smiling and cracking jokes more for us! In general, Medhi is great for MAAE 2300!

Mehdi's lectures are amazing, and he teaches content incredibly clearly and concisely. Lectures are sometimes supplemented by in-class mini-experiments which really helps. He's accessibly outside class and was always happy to help. The midterms and final were fair — not too easy but not too difficult either (compared to the PA Problem Sets).

pretty good professor. If you're struggling go to office hours he is very helpful and he notices when you're attending classes and trying youre best

Absolutely glorious video lectures. "Hello Everyone!"

Really good prof. Gives very hard test but is good at giving people credit where they deserve.

Mehdi is actually a very good professor, I really liked him for fluids compared to first year dynamics. His tests and exams are always hard but it's nothing too crazy if you actually study, fluid mechanics is challenging and you need to put in some effort if you want to do good. Don't fall behind, do your work, study as much as you can.

Mehdi is my goat. He actually cares about the wellbeing of his students and whether they understand the material. In my class, he made an effort to do surveys and whatnot to improve the course. He won't make dynamics easy because that's a very hard thing to do but he'll make it a lot better than it could be.
