ASME DVD Set, PE Exam Prep
« on: May 07, 2007 - 10:45:41 AM »
I figured I would throw this bit on here before I put it on ebay. I have a DVD set for the mechanical engineering professional engineer exam. It is put out by the ASME and is an exam prep class for the PE test. It is not state specific.

This is the blurb from the website:

ASME Professional Engineer Exam Prep on DVD (MEDVD)
American Society of Mechanical Engineers , 2001, 16 DVD's
The ASME PE Exam Review Course on DVD covers all topics on the newly formatted PE review exam.
The DVD program reflects the 2001 changes to the PE Exam Format (all multiple choice, 80 questions -- 40 in the AM and 40 in the PM; morning topic is engineering fundamentals; afternoon topic is your choice of one from HVAC and Refrigeration, Machine Design, or Thermal and Fluid Systems).
There are 21 modules covered on 16 DVD's plus the course handbook on CD-Rom.
•   DVD 1: General Knowledge: Engineering Principles
•   DVD 2: General Knowledge: Economics
•   DVD 3: General Knowledge: Project Management, Ethics, and Codes & Standards
•   DVD 4: General Principles of Machine Design and Materials
•   DVD 5: Hydraulics and Fluids: Principles and Applications
•   DVD 6: Energy Conservation/Power Systems: Vapor and Gas Power Cycles
•   DVD 7: HVAC and Refrigeration: Principles
•   DVD 8: HVAC and R Exam: Fundamentals and Systems
•   DVD 9: HVAC and R Exam: Equipment and Applications DVD 10: Machine Design Exam: Principles
•   DVD 11: Machine Design Exam: Vibration Analysis
•   DVD 12: Machine Design Exam: Machine Design Components
•   DVD 13: Thermal and Fluids Systems Exam: Thermodynamics
•   DVD 14: Thermal and Fluid Systems Exam: Hydraulics/ Pneumatics
•   DVD 15: Thermal and Fluid Systems Exam: Heat Transfer
•   DVD 16: Thermal and Fluid Systems Exam: Power Plants List Price: $645.00


The list price does say $645, and it's worth it, but I want to get rid of it for $450.00 bucks.

PM me if you're interested, of if you know someone who may be interested. Considering classes for the PE start at 700-800 bucks, this is great for someone who is a self motivator.
Drive it like you stole it.

Imagine taking the test. 8 hours  - (2) 4 hour sessions in one day. You come out of there feeling like someone hit you in the head with a 2x4.

Drive it like you stole it.

I took the Nevada State EIT (engineer in training, the 'apprentice' level certification) for electrical engineering, long ago.  I drove my Challenger to the testing facility (which was a banquet room in one of the hotel casinos).  8 hours, break for lunch (I was too worked up so just grabbed a snack and played the nickel slots).  Passed (woohoo!) but then never got a job in the field and let the certification lapse.  It was a rainy day and the front drums on the Challenger were not happy.

That was the hardest test I've ever ended up taking.

Later that year James Doohan visited UNLV and gave a talk about everything and Scotty.  He signed the back of my EIT card!  Rest in peace, Mr. Doohan.

I just took my EIT last October. Got up at 3am the morning of and drove 2 hours to the examine. Got done with the morning session with an hour and a half left, then got done with the afternoon session an hour early. Passed it and now look forward to taking the PE in 2 years.
