“The course helps with problem identification, which is KEY in passing the exam.”


“I can't even begin to explain how useful Dr. Tom’s course was in my preparation. Most importantly, the course helps with problem identification which is KEY in passing the exam. Being able to identify what the problem is asking, knowing where to find the right equation and having practice in solving problems is what Dr. Tom's course is all about. There were problems in the exam that I was only able to solve because of information I acquired from Dr. Tom's course. You will be ready to attack the exam after taking his course. Confidence and preparation are huge when going into the exam and Dr. Tom's course will give you that confidence and preparation. Thank you Dr. Tom!”

“The material covered was exactly what I needed.”


“I passed the PE exam! DTC was instrumental in my success. Each week is very well organized and left me with virtually no questions. The pace was perfect and the material covered was exactly what I needed to work the majority of the problems on the exam. I found Dr. Tom's Exam Day Companion especially useful during the exam in quickly finding the equations I needed to work the problems. There is a lot time spent on organization of your Personalized Resource Notebooks, but believe me, the time spent is well worth it come exam day. I highly recommend Dr. Tom's Classroom to prepare you for the PE exam!”

“The Doctor Tom Method works!”


“Dr. Tom, armed with the method you taught and the organizational tools from your course, I passed on my second try.

THE DOCTOR TOM method works!!  I just needed to apply it and keep a cool head. Your course was the best. I am extremely grateful. Your course was the reason I passed.”

FEATURED PE EXAM PREP TIP – Choose the Right Exam

Whether you’re a civil engineer or a mechanical engineer, choosing the right PE Exam to take can make all the difference. And not all exams are created equal! Some have a wider range of topics, problems types and references that make them more difficult to prepare for and pass. Others require familiarity with fewer references and have topics the are more closely related to each other, narrowing the range of problem types, which makes them easier to prepare for and pass. Your work experience is also a vital factor in the decision, but sometimes not the deciding one.

Before you decide, I invite you to take a look at my FREE Exam Strategy Videos for the Civil PE Exam and the Mechanical PE Exam. In them I outline the factors you should consider when making your exam choice. Let’s get you off on the right foot and on your way to being a PE!  - Dr. Tom

The Printed Word - Still Going Strong after 1,150th Years

Continued advances in communication technology would seem to mark the beginning of the end of the printed word. However, only the technology of producing the printed work has changed. In an ASME article titled "Print's Indelible Mark - Part I," there is an interesting history of the earliest methods of printing. First is the story about the oldest printed book, the Diamond Sutra, celebrating its 1,150th birthday. It was printed in 9th century China and discovered in 1907 by western archeologists who smuggled it out of China. The book is actually a 17.5 foot long scroll comprising of multiple wood block prints connected together into the single scroll. The second story is about the Linotype machine, what Thomas Edison called the 8th Wonder of the World. It automated the previous time consuming process of manual type setting. The Linotype machine dominated printing for almost a hundred years, up to the 1980's when electronic composition became the standard. I look forward to the history that will be revealed in Part II of this fascinating story of the technology of the printed word that seems to be here to stay. - Dr. Tom

FEATURED TESTIMONIAL - Passed the Test and Learned a Ton!

“I passed!! I started this journey as an environmental engineer by education with less than a year of direct experience with thermal and fluid systems work (and Thermo was my lowest grade in college), so this is an impressive outcome that credits both of us well! The value in this course is the structure it gives you to organize yourself, get through the important material, ignore the fluff, and have the confidence to know that if you do the work you will pass. A bonus is that, because you actually provided lessons and explanations, I'm seeing a huge shift in my understanding and abilities at work. I didn't just pass the test... I learned a ton! Thank you so much for your help!"

Ultrasonic Testing of Jet Engine Fan Blades

Engineering is defined by improvements to processes based on empirical data. The recent aircraft engine failure from a broken blade - which resulted in debris, cabin decompression, and a fatal injury to a passenger - has also resulted in new rules from the Federal Aviation Administration to improve fan blade inspections. The engine was last overhauled 10,712 engine cycles before the failure, but inspection rules required inspections after 30,000 takeoffs and landings. The new requirements include removing each of the 24 titanium fan blades from each engine to perform a visual inspection. Following the visual inspection, the blades will be covered with glycerin that will transmit the sound from an ultrasound probe. Any irregularities in the fan blade, such as microscopic cracks, will be displayed as a peak in amplitude of the signal that registers on the handheld device. - Daniel Findley, DTC Civil Transportation Instructor
