"A must for naval architecture PE exam"

Written By: Brent R. Blackburn

There's limited material to take the naval architecture PE exam; therefore, this books is everything you need to bring into the exam (along with the PNA manual from SNAME). This books contains it all in way of subjects, and is a must for the practicing engineer. Manual goes well with practice problems. Just need them to write the navam/marine engineering reference manual next.

"Must have for professional engineer"

Written By: Jim Olmsted

This book was critical in preparing for the PE exam, which I passed on the first time using this manual exclusively (w/ the study guide). I use this book periodically as well at work and have found it to be a great reference book.

"One stop shopping for exam review"

Written By: Mizzou Engineer

I purchased the MERM and the Practice Problem manual and used it for my exam prep. It starts at a review level much more fundamental than what is required for most folks, but good to get you back in the swing of things if you've been out of practice for a while.

I used the planning guide in the front of the book for my prep and condensed their 14 week program down into 7 weeks. After practicing Consulting Engineering for 5 years, I spent 8 years working for a Temperature Control contractor and got really rusty on the calcs. I joined a firm again in the fall and signed up for the exam. I borrowed someone's copy of the NCEES practice exam and between these materials and that exam, it's all the prep I did. I passed on the first attempt.

You will see people with a ridiculous amount of materials on exam day, I took this book and my ASHRAE books (I took the HVAC depth exam) and it was everything I needed. The prep gets you familiar with the Tables and text, it's all that's needed for the exam.

Exam day convenience and familiarity are just as important as the review process. With only 6 minutes per problem, you had better have your road map quickly and this reference does just that.

Several other folks at my firm have past editions of this and refer to it from time to time. Every person from every discipline in my exam had the appropriate version of this manual for their discipline. I highly recommend this reference!

"Great All-Around Reference"

Written By: Alizar

At first I was going to borrow a co-workers copy of this book to save myself the money. After using it for a few weeks I went ahead and bought my own copy. This is an excellent reference manual, not just for taking the PE, but also for work. The book contains just enough information to get you started on a topic and perform most calculations/analysis. I was amazed that it even contained topics on management that I have been covering in my MBA classes.

This was all I needed for taking the PE. Don't bother bringing suitcases of books. This alone was enough to answer all but one of the 80 questions.

"11th edition?"

Written By: H. Jin

I have 11th edition, how is it compared with 12th? Do I have to order the 12th to keep updated for the exam? Thanks for your comments.
