    I need some guidance on the Machine design and Materials PE exam!

    NECEES Mechanical PE Reference Manual Released

    I looked at the MDM section and WOW, it's basically just a collection of equations. Little to no explanations or examples like in MERM, I'm just VERY glad I took the exam when I did.

    PE Certificate Frame w/Pencil

    Thanks! I just watched the sales on line (https://www.michaels.com/custom-framing ) and waited for the next best deal.
