DESCRIPTION:
Frequent references to figures, tables, equations, and appendices in the Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual will direct you to relevant support material.Prepare for the Mechanical PE Exam by Solving Problems—The More Problems, the Better851 practice problems covering the topics on the Mechanical PE examComplete step-by-step solutionsSI and U.S. These demonstrate the format of the NCEES Mechanical PE exam, and focus on individual engineering concepts. The remaining 550 problems are longer and more complex, challenging your skills in identifying and applying related engineering concepts."A 6-minute zinger illustrates the
Many obvious errors. Hopefully all of the errors are obvious. Mitchell P. Thomas This may be the only good Practice Problem Book, so take that for what it's worth. Also, haven't taken the PE exam yet.This book is very frustrating, because many of the problems are poorly-worded or poorly diagrammed, such that the answer isn't obvious until you turn to the solution and say "WHAT?".Some examples (FAIR USE-illustrative)Problem 48-8. Asks you to give the term for a material whose "properties are invariant with direction", which describes an isotropic material. Except that "Isotropic" isn't one of the answers given. So you turn to the solution, which says "An Anisotropic material looks and behav. Buy this + the MERM + Quick Reference Guide and get started. This is as massive as the MERM itself. It has probably around a thousand example problems in it with worked out solutions. I recommend starting here. I spent a month and a half reading the MERM cover to cover and that was a waste of time. In one eye and out the other. Get the MERM, this and the Quick Reference and just start doing problems. I recommend spending about an hour on each chapter of problems and using the MERM as your reference on how to solve them. There are some chapters later on you'll know you can skip or skim (Advanced Alternative Energy, Nuclear Power Plants, almost the entire Plant Engineerin. Highly recommended! Pretty awesome actually. It's expensive, yes. VERY expensive. But, it is almost a one-stop-shop item for passing the PE exam. It's also a great guide to get you started on pretty much any engineering design problem you'll encounter in your career.
