Book Reviews of Mechanical Discipline-Specific Review for the FE/EIT Exam, 2nd ed.
Book Review: Extremely disappointed - Highly recommend a different study guide
Summary: 1 Stars
When studying for an exam, it's important to review the fundamentals of the concepts being tested. However, this study guide does not explain any fundamentals. The entire book is just a set of problems whose solutions are poorly explained. For example, the second problem in the book is a question about buckling, and it leaves out the part about obtaining the end restraint constant.
One would at least expect the study guide to explain where in the reference handbook the equations used in the problem solutions are taken from, but this book does not. And for a book that consists solely of practice problems, even some of the solutions are erroneous. For example, in problem 14, the solution requires summing the moments about the end of a uniform rod. However, the inertia value used is (ML^2)/12, which is the inertia of a uniform rod about its center rather than its end (inertia value should be (ML^2)/3).
In short, don't waste your money on this book. I'm certainly going to buy a different study guide.
