In this video, I go over the format of the CBT Mechanical Engineering PE Exam and explain my recommendations on which exam to choose, based on your education, work experience and the characteristics of each Mechanical Exam: HVAC & Refrigeration, Machine Design & Materials, and Thermal & Fluids Systems.

Keep in mind that the paper-and-pencil versions of the Mechanical exams are no longer being offered. These exams are now offered in a computer-based test format only. This exam format presents you with new challenges that changes everything about how you prepare for the exam. I explain more about the challenges of the CBT Mechanical Exams in this video and in my Computer Based Mechanical PE Exam Experience videos (Part 1: The Big Picture and Part 2: How to Take the Exam with Confidence and Pass) and ini my “Change Is Here,” at drtomsclassroom.com/change-is-here/.

I hope this video helps you understand the CBT exam format better and helps you make the best exam choice for you. After you watch it, let me know how this video has helped you.

Prepare for the Mechanical PE Machine Design & Materials exam at your own pace and on your own schedule with Video Review for the Mechanical PE Machine Design & Materials Exam.

With content created by James Kamm, PhD, PE, LEED AP, these video lessons concentrate on the topics and problems most often asked on the exam. Each lesson contains an instructor-led video presentation, worked example problems, and additional multiple-choice practice problems.

I made this video to clarify issues with the NCEES solution for PE Mechanical Machine Design & Materials Practice Exam Problem 53.

The NCEES solution is fine, however it is unnecessary to draw the entire shear force diagram and then use similar triangles which is always confusing to participants. Also, there is a typo on the left side of the shear force diagram shown in the NCEES solution where 120 in should be 120 lb.

Give this problem a try, then watch the video, and let us know if you find it helpful. - Dr. Tom (AKA Dr. Thomas H. Brown, PE) DTC Founder and Mechanical Engineering Instructor

I made this video to clarify issues with the NCEES solution for PE Mechanical Machine Design & Materials Practice Exam Problem 28.

The NCEES solution is fine, except there appears to be an inconsistency between the wording in the statement of the problem and the information shown in the solution as to what value of the shear force should be used.

When I decided to take the PE (Professional Engineer) exam last fall, I only had about a month to study. I used Engineer Pro Guides to kickstart my studying process, however, I ended up ordering a few of the recommended books I needed in order to pass. I only had few weeks with these books so I studied about 20 hours a week and marked them up with hundreds of sticky notes so I could navigate faster.

After I took the exam, I returned all of the books I ordered and got a full refund, so the exam didn't cost me as much as I thought it would.

I received my pass notice from NCEES in mid December.

If you're on the fence about registering for the exam and its getting close, just do it!

I made this video to clarify issues with the NCEES solution for PE Mechanical Machine Design & Materials Practice Exam Problem 12.

The NCEES solution begins with an equation that has been the source of a great many questions and confusion by previous participants as to its origin. In this video, I show how this equation comes to define the problem.

This video will cover a practice problem relevant to the Mechanical Engineering Machine Design PE Exam — specifically, this problem covers a slender column with both ends build in.

As I prepare to take the PE Exam myself, I will be recording an explanation of some of the practice problems I work. Explaining these problems helps me ensure that I understand the material I am reviewing, and it will hopefully prove itself to be useful to others.

As more videos are uploaded, I will begin to build playlists organized similarly to how the Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual (MERM) is organized.

Slender columns, both ends pinned, both ends fixed, theoretical end restraint coefficient (k), AISC values, Euler, Euler’s curve, Euler los, straight column, buckling column, effective length
