5.0 out of 5 stars
A very good book for beginners,
By A Customer
This review is from: BasicPro/ENGINEER in 20 Lessons (General Engineering S.) (Paperback)
I used to be teaching assistant for a Pro/E class at Purdue University. The first few semesters Pro/E was offered, we used PTC's Basic Training Guide. Using PTC's resource, appx. 50% of the students were having problems. The following semester, we switched to Lamit's book and the amount of students having problems dropped to appx. 5%. It is a very easy book to follow with good tutorials.

This review is from: BasicPro/ENGINEER in 20 Lessons (General Engineering S.) (Paperback)
I just purchased the book. And I think this book is well organized. But, this book is based on version 17(I guess) now we are using 20-> 2000 and the environment is a lot different. The author have to revise this book....Really.
