Hi friends,I wish to find out about good reference books and study material to prepare for Electrical and Computer Engineering PE exam.
Also, do any schools around Philadelphia offer review courses in this field? I noticed that there arent many places offering refresher coursework in Electrical and Computer engineering...
Please help,
I used the MGI EE Prepardness course mainly, it was great. Took Power module 15 years after college, 12 years after FE, studied for 4 months, 2-4 hours a day. Don't know if its still available.

AM BREADTH
EERM - Probobly the best "Breadth" book out there.
Fundamentals of EE (By Bobrow) - Goes into the "depth" of the AM stuff that EERM does not, so it complements it perfectly. More than you'll care to know.
NCEES Electrical and Computer Study Guide
Schaum's Basic EE (or similar Schaums, there's 3 or 4)
One good text on Electronics (transistors, Op Amps), one Communications (basic) and one Digital (binary, hex, chips, micro, clock cycles, K-map).
EE Quick Reference (other board or Kaplan's Referenced Review by Bentley)
PM POWER Depth
Power Systems Analysis (Grainger)
Electric Machines, Drives and Power Systems (Wildi)
Schaum's Electric Power Systems & Schaum's Electric Machinery
NEC Code for Code questions.
"Public Lighting" & "IESNA Illumination Handbook" for lighting questions.
I also printed and bound lots of stuff from Wikipedia ranging from DC motors, Generators, Computers, load flow, etc.
