5.0 out of 5 stars
Helped on the PE Exam,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dictionary Of Civil Engineering (Paperback)
I purchased the Dictionary of Civil Engineering by John S Scott (4th Ed.) for the PE exam as a reference, and I used it several times during the exam. The definitions are simple, but also contain good depth. I was also happy that the book is fairly small (9" x 6" with 534 pages) making it easy to quickly search for a definition. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. It was rush delivered the week before the exam and delivery was right on time!

This review is from: Dictionary Of Civil Engineering (Paperback)
A friend bought the same book on-line 50% cheaper than what I paid for it through Amazon. The paper and printing quality is not good. Some of the prints are fading and some of the letters run together. My copy was printed in China.

Very useful...,
By Sarp Kemaloglu (Istanbul, TURKEY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dictionary Of Civil Engineering (Paperback)
This is a very useful book especially for those foreign engineers. There are terms in the book which most likely you have not encountered at school that might come in handy.
