Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam

The new Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual (MERM) is the most current, comprehensive review for the all-objective mechanical PE exam. Developed in response to the new test specifications, this manual provides the topical review, the practice problems, the data tables, and other resources you need to prepare for and pass this exam.

MERM is organized in 14 major subject areas. Within these areas, 72 chapters break the topics down into manageable units. Each chapter provides a concise review of both the theoretical and the practical aspects of the topic. Interspersed throughout the text, solved example problems demonstrate how to apply what's being discussed. At the chapter end, practice problems allow you to test solving your skills and comprehension.

Among the features MERM offers are:

• an introduction to the new exam format, content, and organization
• a suggested study schedule, plus tips for successful preparation
• hundreds of solved example problems, reinforcing the concepts in the text
• more than 500 practice problems--many written in the new exam format, designed to be solved in 6 minutes or less
• hundreds of tables, charts, and figures, providing data at your fingertips
• an exhaustive, fully cross-referenced index, so you can locate information quickly and easily when the pressure is on.

With the Reference Manual and its accompanying products, you can be confident you're using the best preparation materials available for the mechanical PE exam. MERM won't take the work out of the preparation process, but it will make your study time as productive as possible. The manual's breadth of coverage, combined with its excellent index, make it an valuable, time-saving reference before, during, and after the exam.
If you already own the tenth edition of MERM, see this special offer to let you trade up to MERM11 with significant savings.
