Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam » (12nd Edition)

Michael R. Lindeburg, PE, is recognized among the engineering community as the leading authority on professional engineering licensing exam preparation. The author of many books on this subject, he has taught and supervised exam-review courses for over 25 years. He holds BS and MS degrees from Stanford University in industrial engineering. When not writing, he can be found hosting the "Licensing Exam Forum," an online bulletin board for FE and PE candidates located at www.ppi2pass.com.

The Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual is the most trusted study guide and reference for the mechanical PE exam. This edition has been updated to reflect the new breadth-and-depth format of the exam. All exam topics are reviewed clearly and completely, and more than 200 solved example problems and almost 530 practice problems (200 of them new) demonstrate key concepts and help you understand the most efficient way to solve problems. The text is enhanced by hundreds of illustrations, charts, and other data, and an extensive index.

For solutions to the practice problems in this manual, order Practice Problems for the Mechanical Engineering PE Exam, 11th edition (ISBN 1-888577-69-X). Both these books are part of Professional Publications's Engineering Review Series, used by over 600,000 engineers to pass their licensing exams.
