Electrical Engineering Review Manual: A Complete Review Course for the P.E. Examination for Electrical Engineers

I used "Electrical Engineering Review Manual" by Yarbrough as a look up reference for the PE test. (ISBN = 0-932276-36-9). It was written specifically for the P.E. and was the only book I actually opened at the test. I would seek out this book despite being out-of-print.I have also used it as a quick reference many times in my consulting career.Some context: I never met a test I didn't like, graduated with BSEE from Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in 1982, and found the P.E. to be sophomore-to-junior level with low-to-moderate difficulty and depth - with no significant time pressure - one hour average per problem. You can make the P.E. difficult if you only do one kind of problem. The PE is an engineering fundamentals test, which includes:Power, Digital logic, Communications, Integration, Filters, Op amp applications, Control systems/application of feedback, NEC (my 1994 test had a grounding problem)I remember doing problems as follows: 1) A freshman-level problem relating power and energy (first page of the test and shockingly rudimentary) 2) An integration problem - find the RMS value of a sine-wave 10V peak-to-peak, chopped at 65% - another freshman level problem 3) An op amp problem - find the rise time, calculate the value of feedback resistors, draw bode plot showing frequency response 4) A grounding problem using NEC (I DIDN'T HAVE MY NEC! But did the problem anyway since I'd been doing a lot of commercial design) 5) A Control Systems problem - classic transfer function with feedback problem 6) A Sallen and Key low-pass filter problem. 7) A power problem - transformer regulation with non-purely-resistive load. 8) ?A word of encouragement for prospective P.E.'s: Don't sweat that fact that you may not have prepared adequately - take it anyway. I delayed sitting for it because of this non-reason, and cost myself tens-of-thousands of dollars. Apply for it, don't tell anyone you're taking it, and go in with no pressure. Like Doritos tortilla chips "they'll make more" If you get a 69, you'll get to take the test again.I took the test with no preparation, walked out of the afternoon session (multiple choice) with one-and-one-half hours to spare, and got a 76 (laughing when I got the notice). Real-world consulting and my classes at Rose were and are far, far, more difficult. Go get `em!!
