Civil Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam, 10th Edition
(144)

Free%20Two-Day%20Shipping%20for%20College%20Students%20with%20Amazon%20Student

Updated more precisely for the new breadth-and-depth civil PE exam, the eighth edition of the Civil Engineering Reference Manual is the most comprehensive exam resource available to engineers. Every exam subject is reviewed clearly and completely. Almost 500 example problems reinforce what you've reviewed, and 440 exam-level practice problems give you plenty of experience with problem-solving. The book references the structural and traffic/transportation codes tested on the exam. Hundreds of tables, charts, and other data are included, and indexes for both subjects and data let you retrieve specific information rapidly. This new edition will not only help you prepare successfully for the PE exam but also serve you well as a desk reference when you receive your license.

For solutions to the practice problems in this manual, order Practice Problems for the Civil Engineering PE Exam, 8th edition (ISBN 1-888577-67-3). Both these books are part of Professional Publications's Engineering Review Series, used by over 600,000 engineers to pass their licensing exams.

Excellent choice

July 16, 2002

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Used this book and companion problems booklet. I took only this book to the test and it did the trick. Though you need to read it to be familar with it. I took the water resources afternoon test and the book did not fail me. Great index lead me to appropriate pages after determining key word in test question. Problem booklet helped me get into the problem solving mode. Booklet also helped me determine info (conversions and equations) I would use a lot and I put those on seperate paper which I bound for the test. It helped to have the seperate notes because the book is big and time is wasted turning pages. I finished each section with 5 minutes to spare. Buy and read this book, work through some of the problem booklet, and you have a good chance of passing the PE. It was my only study guide (two months diligent study) and reference in the test and it worked for me.

Improvement

November 13, 2001

Format: Hardcover

I purchased the 6th edition of this book a few years back in anticipation of taking the PE exam. Then the PE exam changed. Therefore this Reference Manual changed. I would have to say that this 8th edition is a MUCH better reference book. It is well thought out, well presented and just simply contains much more information! I was thoroughly impressed from the second I cracked open the book and as I work through the problems I become more and more impressed with the book. At first I was distressed about buying the latest edition and having to spend the additional money but it ended up being money VERY well spent. I highly recommend this book if you are preparing for the exam or if you simply want an excellent reference book for your engineering library.

Worthwhile investment

March 18, 2004

Format: Hardcover

I bought this reference to use for studying for the PE, along with its accompanying study guide; however, I ended up studying only about 4 hours before the PE test. I made my first pass through each session using my normal references, leaving blank any difficult to find problems. I then went back through with this book. I passed the test (in 2002), but in hindsight, I would have done it the other way, That is, use the CE Reference first and then try my other books. This book is a real time saver, and the index is very thorough. I also use it regularly in practice. For perspective, I took the "Water Resources" test.

The *single* best resource

November 2, 2002

Format: Hardcover

If you are taking the civil PE exam, get this book. It's not perfect, but the layout, recommendations, problems, and text will all get you prepared for the exam, if you utilize the book!
I don't need a long review here, let it suffice to say I bought this book and the practice problems, studied dilligently for only about 6 weeks, and this book was the ONLY reference I took into the exam with me.
I passed my first attempt. There is no higher recommendation I can give this book than that.

7th edition with a new cover.

July 17, 2002

Format: Hardcover

This reference manual is still by far the best reference for the PE test. However, the 8th edition is being marketed as an updated manual designed for the new breadth-and-depth format of the exam. I have the 7th edition and have found that the problems are no way representative of test problems, so i jumped at the chance to purchase the 8th edition. I see absolutely no difference between the 2 editions. DON'T BE FOOLED!!! If you have the 7th edition, do not purchase this book thinking it will be a better reference or you will also be left scratching your head in wonder.

The is the best of all the evils

October 26, 2001

Format: Hardcover

I just finished taking the PE 5 hours ago. I can't count the number of mistakes in this book. Plus some solutions were so ambiguous it took longer to decipher his solution than it took to work the problem. This is a great money making opportunity for some who could write better book. It wouldn't be too hard. The only redeeming quality I found was that it helped me on the subjects that I never studied in college. Otherwise I would have given it a 2.

"Civil Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam"IS GREAT

August 23, 2002

Format: Hardcover

This reference manual was the greatest textbook, I had in my open-book PE Exam. It really helped me a lot in some areas that I was not exposed to during my professional practice years. It is a MUST for PE Civil Engineering Exam takers.
As a summary, I passed the exam from the first time.
