Practice Problems for the Mechanical Engineering PE Exam
500 Questions
This book pairs up directly with the Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual (MERM). All the question chapters align with the chapters in the MERM for an effective presentation of the material. Some of the questions are harder (~1hr to complete), but the variety is top notch. All the questions presented in this book are different from the ones in the MERM.
