PE Exam Materials - Codes & Standards
PE Exam Materials - Codes & Standards
(OP)
I;m beginning my studies for the PE Mechanical - Machine Design and Materials - Exam, and finding that some industrial codes may be useful or necessary. I may need ASME Y14.5, OSHA CFR29 and maybe some other codes.
I am looking for suggestions here. Are the purchase and knowledge of these codes necessary? Please explain your experience or thoughts on this. I don't mind studying and knowing any more codes, so long as it is necessary, but I really don;t want to pay $1,000 for codes that I need only to take a test. Any employer would purchase if ever needed for work. and we may have some of these codes some where deep in the files at work. I suppose if it is needed for the exam, then I will try to locate at my work.

But when I took it, I was able to get NCEES's "Sample Questions" booklet, and that pretty much told the story.

Work every single problem in MERM. Then work them again. Then take their practice exam. Don't purchase code and standards until you need them for paying work.

I used to count sand. Now I don't count at all.

ASME Y14.5 is Dimensioning and Tolerancing. If you intend to do mechanical design, this is an excellent book to have in your library. I don't know if it affects your PE exam.
