per a suggestion to share, i am going to post some the info i received from colleagues in preparation for the ME PE exam. Please note, i haven't taken the exam yet (Apr 07), but wanted to share with others who will take the exam in a few short weeks...
Note: I did not prepare any of the following nor do I take responsibility for the content:

--------comments for a successful candidate in Machine Design, PE----------
Mark's Engineering Handbook,
crane data book for flow through tubes and fitting.
Mollier diagram and Steam tables are in MERM book on
the back in the appendix section. If I remember
correctly I thinck its appendix 24. I can let you know
later if you wish.
Also, make sure you work you Air condition,
refrigiration and steam problems very carefully. Make
sure you know the basics. Because, the problems are
sometimes twisty and require basic knowledge more than
detailed knowledge.
In the fluid section make sure you are good with the
pump power problems,NPSHR & A problems, and jet
propulsion.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MERM has enough focus on welding. See basic machine
design chap. and pressure vessels chap. Those twoo
chap cover more or less everything you need to know
about welding. Welding problems are very simple to
solve in the exam.
By the way, make sure u r good with the deflection of
beams specially cantilever and wide beams.
