“If you don’t read my entire testimonial – here is the “bottom line upfront:” Look no further! I passed the exam and a great deal of credit goes to Dr. Tom and the course. If you work the program, watch the lectures, do the problems, prepare the personalized resource notebooks, and use the participant forum…..you will pass the exam. This structure, organization, and commitment are why this program is so successful, and I will be recommending this to my colleagues. Thank you Dr. Tom and your entire staff."

“I am 100% confident saying that without your course, I wouldn't have succeeded with a first-time go. With my work and home life demands, I needed a prep course that told me how, what, and when to study. DTC was perfect in that regard. I walked into my study sessions daily not having to worry about what needed to be accomplished. As a result, I was able to identify all of the test problems, what PRNs to use, and what pass-through to answer them in. Admittedly, I was nervous at first about taking DTC because of all the other more expensive courses, thinking the more expensive the better, but I was obviously wrong.  Keep doing great things for future candidates!”

“I feel like the biggest advantage that your class brings to the table is that you structure all of the information you need in a way that is much easier to find. Even if you are the most well-versed engineer in the world, if you don't have a method in place to quickly find the equation or topic that you are looking for, it can make for a really tough test day. The binders that we made from the class proved to be a lifesaver, and I was able to answer most of the questions simply from them alone. This saved a ton of time as I wasn't constantly flipping through the MERM and the other mountains of books desperately looking for an answer or random equation. I will definitely recommend your class. Thanks for everything!”

“Dr. Tom's methodical approach to preparing for the PE exam helped me to get and stay organized from the very beginning. The extra practice and challenge problems were an excellent compliment to the SMS problems, NCEES practice exam, and MERM. I have no doubt that this class ensured my success on the exam on my first attempt.”

“Dr. Tom’s prep course provided the structure and the solid foundation I needed to pass the PE exam. Learning to quickly identify the type of problem and using Dr. Tom’s back-to-basics approach to problem solving helped ease some of my concerns of taking the exam and feel confident in my ability to do well. I’ve used an in-class prep course before with no success. The quality, exam day references provided, exam day tips and confidence in Dr. Tom’s program makes it easy for me to recommend Dr. Tom’s Classroom. Thanks for getting me over the hump and helping to accomplish a major goal of mine!”

“Dr Tom's was an invaluable program. I've been out of school for over 20 years and needed to re-learn a lot of the material. His teaching style took very complex concepts and laid the material out in a straight forward fashion with a systematic approach to solve the problems. His methodology gave me structure for studying that I would not have been able to achieve on my own. His organizational approach to the reference material was a huge time saver and assistance during the exam. Thank you Dr Tom for putting a great program together.”

“I participated in the 20-Week Review class for the Civil: Water Resources and Environmental exam. All of the hours put into studying and developing the materials following the Dr. Tom method paid off as I passed the exam. One of the critical items to my success was understanding the test taking method of taking multiple passes and not allowing myself to become to hung up on any one question. Taking the 20 weeks to absorb the material and develop organized references I believe was also critical to my success. I will recommend anyone taking the test in the future to use the Dr. Tom courses, it was worth both my monetary and time investments.”

“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!”

FREE CIVIL VIDEO OF THE MONTH - Transportation: Freeway Capacity

This video covers a core element of a roadway’s operation – level of service. The general topic of density is an Civil AM topic, while the application of density for measuring a freeway’s level of service spans into the Transportation PM area. Density, in terms of passenger cars in 1 mile of one lane of a freeway, is tied to the level of service that drivers experience – the higher the density of vehicles, the worse the level of service. - Dr. Daniel Findley

Wind Turbines - Solving the Energy Storage Dilemma

Wind turbines are one of my favorite systems, as they incorporate not only mechanical engineering in their support structure and drive systems, but aerodynamics as well in the design of their rotating blades. One of the limiting factors in the use of wind power is storing the energy during peak times and making it available during times when there is no wind. Batteries are one option, however Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy will be testing a new design in Hamburg, Germany that is really innovative. Energy from a wind turbine will be used to heat a 1,000 tons of rock to 600 ºC. When needed, the heat from the rocks will power a standard steam power plant to produce electricity. There is something about that concept that excites the imagination, at least mine.

"Combined cycles" is one of the major topics we cover in our Thermal/Fluids PE Review course.  Maybe it is time to incorporate a wind turbine system like the one Siemens is building as part of the Review. - Dr. Tom

We Have the Plan! You Just Have To Do the Work!

Our plan for your success is based on what we call the Dr. Tom Method. We call it that because Dr. Tom came up with it, but over the years we have all worked together to fine tune and develop this method into a highly structured review that step by step helps you develop the skills and resources you need to pass the PE exam. We’ve taken the guesswork out of what to study and what not to study. Follow the plan, do the work, and you’ll be a PE!

“I passed the PE Exam! Dr. Tom's Classroom was instrumental in my success. Each week is very well organized and left me with virtually no questions as I worked through the syllabus.Throughout the course 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 found the Exam Day Companion especially useful during the exam in quickly finding the equations I needed to work the problems. Dr. Tom's lesson videos were excellent. The pace was perfect and the material covered was exactly what I needed to work the majority of the problems on the exam. It is very important that you work or attempt to work the challenge problems yourself each week before watching the solution videos. I highly recommend Dr. Tom's Classroom to prepare you for the PE exam!”

The first span of the bridge to replace the Tappan Zee Bridge in New York was completed this fall. Construction on the Cuomo bridge started in 2013 with the first passengers making the journey from Westchester County to Rockland County in August, with the reverse pattern opening in October. Check out this great time-lapse video to see construction of the piers, girders, road deck, and stay cables.
