Thanks for the info, I will be attending if possible.

I think PPI has some online stuff. I did a few of the free ones, they seemed like the morning problems. I think I would rather do these than the MERM problems. I think lots of fast problems that hit many topics are better than a few really long problems that go into depth that is not needed.

Lindeburg does make a book of common equations for the PE exam based on the MERM. I have it and used it, plus added a lot to it. It is not optimal, and in the end, I'm not sure if it was worth it or not (over just tapping the MERM), hard to say. However, it was very worth while (for me) to make...

I was concerned about the rules on writing in you own materials, but I still went with my own copy of 11 x 17 and just didn't write in it. I used a ruler and triangle, so I could see what was going on. I am not an HVAC, did machine design, but it worked for me.

I also have lots of books for sale, make me a fair offer on any and they are yours. 1. NCEES practice exam (old version), bought new, used once. 2. NCEES practice exam (new version), bought new, used once. 3. Six Minute solutions ME machine design, bought new, used once. (has both afternoon...

I also did the same (11x17 with one side hole punched, put in an 8.5 x 11 binder). I purchased the ASHRAE charts, liked them a lot. Make sure you get familiar with the charts you will use with the exam. Not all charts are the same, some are faster and easier to use. I also put some...

Baltimore Joe, yes, I got the PE number with the exam results, even though I would not be official until I paid the licence fee. I have not recieved an invitation to the MD PE society yet? I have heard that the PE certificate is nothing special, it would be nice to have something worthy of framing.

I purchased the Mechanical NCEES practice exam. The CD that came with it is labeled "civil engineering practice problems for the PE exam". I never checked it out until now. It turns out to be a computer test for Civil PE. It gives you questions and times you, not bad but it's for the Civil?? and...

Hey Joe, Thanks, that is useful information. What size stamp did you get, the 1.625" or 2"? What type of stamp (self inking etc.) did you get and do you like it? Thanks,

I got a CD with the older version of the NCEES exam, but did not get a CD with the newer version practice exam. The CD that came with the older version exam appears to be Civil engineering practice problems (labeled) which is odd since I purchased the ME practice exam. I have not bothered to...

Ralph has got it just right, I think the above is the best set of references for the general and depth machine design. I would make get both the old and new NCEES sample exams, they are really the best example problems you will find period. I also found the ASHRAE psyc chart #1 (8.5" x 17")...

I am from MD and have some stamp info; As you might know, MD also now requires an additional certification stamp on your documents stating your PE number and expiration date. Some of the stamp companies have these already prepared for MD. Also, some companies use a simplified MD seal at the...

What out for the practice problems book for the MERM, there are quite a few problems that are a total waste of time. It took me a while to realize this, and I started to skip them, glad I did, don't regret it for a minute.

I agree. I don't think these problems even represent 0.1% of what you will see on the exam, in fact, I am willing to take a bet those problems will never be on the PE exam

You can see the passing rates (not scores but % that pass) at: http://www.ncees.org/exams/pass_rates/

I'm not on the banner either? I have over 100 posts?

There is also some way outdated stuff in the MERM 12th ed, but it is mostly in areas that you are unlikely to see, such as the section on batteries (10 years behind). Also, the MERM suggested study schedule skips a number of chapters altogether, and I think this is a good except there are...

I don't know the specifics for MA but I didn't see any requirement that said you need to work under a PE for your experience (I didn't look very closely). For Maryland and some other states you don't need to work under a PE, but your experience does need to be evaluated. Lots of engineering...

Ditto that!
