These Michael R. Lindeburg, PE classics have undergone an intensive transformation to ensure focused study for success on the 2020 NCEES computer-based tests (CBT): HVAC and Refrigeration, Machine Design and Materials, and Thermal and Fluid Systems.

Starting in April 2020, exams will be offered year-round at approved Pearson Vue testing centers. The only resource examinees can use during the test will be the NCEES PE Mechanical Reference Handbook. To succeed on exam day, you need to know how to solve problems using that resource. MERM14 and MEPP14 make that connection for you by using only NCEES equations in the review and for problem solving.

How to Use the Set:

Brush up on key exam topics, learn what equations to use, and review detailed step-by-step solutions in the Reference Manual. Then go to the Mechanical Engineering Practice Problems to solve related question until you are confident with the topic. Corresponding chapters makes it easy to use both books at the same time. Buy both and save.

New Features Include:

• Improved design to focus study on most important exam material
• Explanations and demonstration of how to use NCEES handbook equations
• NCEES handbook equations are highlighted in blue for quick access
• In chapter callouts map to specific exam to streamline review process
