Definitely skip it. You won't need to worry about it.
Thanks guys. I appreciate your repsonses. I went through the contents in MERM and compared with the topics included by NCEES . Topics like Fire Protection Systems, Environmental Engineering and most of Control Systems are what I am planning on skipping. Are there any other topics that can be skipped? Also since I will be taking MD for depth, Do I still need to go thru the Machine design topics in MERM (Statics, Materials, Machine Design and Dynamics Vibration). Dont you think Shigley's will prepare me enough to tackle the breadth questions. Please comment.
