5.0 out of 5 stars The Quintessential Engineering Reference, August 5, 2002

This review is from: Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam: 10th Edition (Engineering Reference Manual Series) (Hardcover)

This is bar-none the most complete and easiest to understand reference and study guide on the market. I used it almost exclusively when studying for and taking the P.E. and passed on the first try. My only regret is that I did not buy a copy upon graduation from college as it and would have most likely increased my on the job learning curve. It is truly a must-have reference for any engineer's bookshelf

My hat is off to M. R. Lindeburg, P.E.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent review - focused, accurate, educational., September 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam: 10th Edition (Engineering Reference Manual Series) (Hardcover)

This was the only review text I used and carried to the exam. I devoted about four months of study using the manual as a guide. I worked every problem in the manual, used the practice exam, and passed on the first try. Use the manual to identify your weak points and concentrate on those. Perhaps the most useful apsect of the manual was the inclusion of problems representative of what will be on the exam - gaining proficiency at solving these types of problems will ease exam jitters. There were some errors in the examples, so the solutions manual was helpful as well. Valuable test-taking tips and advise for the registered professional are included. Nearly all tables needed for the exam were in this manual; marking them in advance saved a great deal of time in the exam room.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book and throw away all of your college textbooks, December 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam: 10th Edition (Engineering Reference Manual Series) (Hardcover)

This is the only reference you need to successfully pass the P.E. exam. Master this material and you will pass the exam. This book gives understandable explanations of all the theory you were supposed to master in college. This book also includes all tables, charts and graphs that you may need during the exam. I wish I had this book while I was going to school.
