Civil Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam 60 reviews
Michael R. Lindeburg
Professional Pub., 2008
Take this book with you to the Civil PE Exam
Do take this book to the civil PE exam. It had the info for all the Qs save one on the Oct '07 exam.
Do not study everything in this book. Use the list of topics available on the NCEES website to organize your study efforts. If you use this book to create your study plan for the exam, you'll won't have had time to study all the topics on the exam by the time it rolls around.

Fundamentals of Engineering Thermodynamics2 reviews
Michael J. Moran, Howard N. Shapiro
Wiley, 2007
Great book
This is a very good text book, it is well written and keeps it short and sweet. It gets to the point. One great feature is that it boxes in derivations that are not nessacary to understand, this way you don't get bogged down in a lot of text. There are tons of examples in the book and no mistakes that I could find. You really can read and understand everything from the text, you don't really need ...

Engineering Mechanics: Dynamics (Engineering Mechanics) 2 reviews
J. L. Meriam, L. G. Kraige
Wiley, 2006
OK book
This book explains the concepts very carefully. However, it jumps topic to topic without a smooth trancision. Examples are very elementary, but the problems at the end of each chapter gets tedious quickly. Prefer if the hard problems are approached with more examples. Biggest down fall I see is that there are no answers at the back for any problems.

Engineering Mechanics - Statics (Engineering Mechanics)20 reviews

Wiley, 2006
an engineering student
Engineering mechanics by Meriam and Kraige provides an excellent treatment of the subject matter, providing that one has all the necessary tools to handle this course. This means to have your geometry, algebra, trig., physics, and calculus internally wired. If not, one has to do the deep reviews, spending time and energy at grasping the basic concepts.
Also, if the discussion of the ...

Practice Problems for the Civil Engineering PE Exam: A Companion to the Civil Engineering Reference Manual18 reviews
Michael R. Lindeburg
Professional Pub., 2008
By far the best review and in-test reference book for the civil PE
By far the best review and in-test reference book for the PE. Didn't have to use any other book really for the civil PE national exam. Passed the first time. It even came a little bit in handy for the California survey exam, and to a little lesser extent the seismic. But overall a great reference book for the 8-hour. I still use it every so often at work to this day.

Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design3 reviews
Richard G. Budynas, J. Keith Nisbett
McGraw Hill Higher Education, 2007
Awesome Textbook
I think this is a really good textbook, though it is very pricey. Many of the tables that are in the book are very useful and the examples are extremely helpful. I only bought this book because I needed it for 2 classes and it will be one of the few books I will keep even after graduation.

beautiful cover!
I bought 6th edition of this book more than 10 years ago. But the cover of 6th edition has no photograph, it has an pink color. I think this book has cover useful basic of engineering mathematic. But the explanation is very short and difficult to understand. Lucky enough I use this textbook when I was 2nd undergraduate engineering student in which cover topic about Fourier Analysis, Laplace ...

Software Engineering: A Practitioner's Approach 67 reviews
Roger S Pressman, Roger Pressman
McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math, 2004
Excellent Source Material
I'm not a student. I am software development manager and have over 20 years of real-world experience developing sophisticated banking and financial applications. I have one of the original first addition books, and I have to say that this book was critical to my learning software engineering principles. The criticism of this book are unfounded in my opinion. This book contains the critical ...

Jones & Bartlett Pub, 2006
Great Text
This was a required course text for a junior-level math course in "Engineering Math" that I took as an undergrad. It has since proved an invaluable resource, both in later mathematics courses and in engineering classes/research (I'm now in my first year of grad school.) I have both used it as a review and as a reference in picking up new material -- it has a pretty good variety of useful math in ...

Norman S. Nise
Wiley, 2007
Great Text!!
As a student in control systems engineering, I found this text to be very valuable (I had the 3rd Edition then). As an engineer, I found it to be my everyday reference. A few years back, I jumped ship from the engineering field and have obtained a PhD in another field of science and to my surprise, I still reference this text today. Great Text!! Dorf and Bishop is not bad but Nise takes first ...

Software Engineering: (Update) (8th Edition) (International Computer Science Series)6 reviews
Ian Sommerville
Addison Wesley, 2006
A nice book in software engineering
I bought this book as a required textbook for my grad course. I've learned a lot from my past misconception and misunderstanding between software science and software engineering just after reading a few chapters from the book.
The book covers wide aspects of engineering a software, both technical aspects and non-technical aspects (social, laws, ethics) although not in deep-breath details.

Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering (4th Edition) (Prentice Hall International Series in the Physical ...16 reviews
H. Scott Fogler
Prentice Hall PTR, 2005
Excellent Book
In contrast with what my fellow Ann Arbor reviewer (and most likely UM ChE student), I tended to think that Fogler's book was an excellent way by which to learn the principles of Chemical Reaction Engineering. The book is well organized and while the chapters may skip some, the principle chapters (1-6 in the sixth printing) are the recommended starting chapters. Once passing through chapters 1 - ...

Principles of Geotechnical Engineering4 reviews
Braja M. Das
Cengage-Engineering, 2005
This is a great intro book on Soil Mechanics.
I just finished taking a intro Soil Mechanics class using this book. We completed all 16 chapters which is quite a feat for any engineering class. I thought the book was very good at laying out the conceptual aspects of soil mechanics and it was very easy to read through, espcially for an engineering book. The book has lots of illustrations and pictures (B&W). The books chapter layout was a ...

Helped me earn an A
I don't understand where all of the negative reviews are coming from. The 6th edition of this textbook was used in my Financial Aspects of Engineering class my final semester. Officially it is a 400 level course, but in reality it is more like a 200 level course. I literally skipped half of the lectures (remember, it was my final semester) and still earned an A in the class. I think grades ...

Engineering Mechanics - Statics (11th Edition)2 reviews
Russell C. Hibbeler
Prentice Hall, 2006
Rating of the 1 st edition book and the author
My discussion here is a rating of the 1st edition and the author, Professor R.C. Hibbeler. The first edition is the one I used in my course of study while in college.
Granted the book does not offer a lot of complicated examples, only relatively easy ones. But there is a reason. The author wants the student to develop his/her own skills in problem solving. He does explain the material in ...
