Product Description
As the most comprehensive reference and study guide available for engineers preparing for the breadth-and-depth mechanical PE examination, the twelfth edition of the Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual provides a concentrated review of the exam topics. Thousands of important equations and methods are shown and explained throughout the Reference Manual, plus hundreds of examples with detailed solutions demonstrate how to use these equations to correctly solve problems on the mechanical PE exam. Dozens of key charts, tables, and graphs, including updated steam tables and two new charts of LMTD heat exchanger correction factors, make it possible to work most exam problems using the Reference Manual alone. A complete, easy-to-use index saves you valuable time during the exam as it helps you quickly locate important information needed to solve problems.

I have been a practicing engineer for 18 years. I bought this book (11th edition)and the answer manual for the example problems 5 months before the exam. I spent at least 10 hours a week studying but it paid off. I passed the PE exam the first time. The book is a very good reference also.
Big Heavy Book June 14, 2007

This is onle heavy book but for good reason, there is a lot of good information in here. I got this book to help me study for the PE exam, however I am not eligable to take it for another 2 years. If I could do it all over again, I probably could have bought this book and used it for every engineering class I had throughout all of college. I have about 20 or so engineering books that I have collected over the years and this one book about sums it all up except for those classes that are very speciallized like Fuel Cell Design or English 1. Even though I am out of college and can't take the exam for a while, it is still a very good reference book for work. I used to keep all my collage book so I would have them for referance but since I got this book, the rest just stay in a box now. I have so far found one flaw, there are things in there I don't know what to do with them but then I realized that it was stuff school never taught me in the first place. So not really a flaw of the book... the book is great.
One stop shopping for exam review July 25, 2008

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 Book, Awful Book Binding March 17, 2009

I'm giving this book five stars because I feel it is a must for Mechanical Engineers and the author deserves five stars, but the publisher needs a lesson or two on book binding.
If anyone from the publishing company reads this they may learn something about book binding from "The Penland Book of Handmade Books: Master Classes in Bookmaking Techniques". I know it is geared for the amateur book binder, but judging from the workmanship of this book, I believe you fit into that category quite well thank, you very much. You could make this up to a loyal customer by giving me a new copy. I'm easy to find, just follow the trail of pages I leave behind from this book on my way to work.

If you are taking the Mechanical PE exam, you know you need this book so just bite the bullet and buy it. It has 90% of what you'll need for the exam without any other resources.
Don't forget the ASHRAE books if you take the HVAC afternoon session.
