450 hours (spread out for 6 months). Passed on 1st try.

The former. If your job is HVAC, go with that or T&F. My job relies a lot on Machine Design, so that is what I took, despite being equally strong in T&F.

I think Shigley as well as Shaum's outline are a must for the PE exam. Both the Problem sets are about the same difficulty for the PM depth. I opened the MERM only a handful of times (mostly tables) in the M&M PM. The MERM is not thorough enough in all of the PM M&M topics (in machine...
