Ford GTs in Championship Chase!

The Ford GTs raced at nearby Virginia International Raceway on Sunday, and the No. 66 car finished second, closing the gap with the Corvettes in the championship. The No. 67 had to start at the back because they switched tires, and still managed to finish fourth. A great showing with only two races to go. Next race - the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. One of the DTC staff attended the race and got this up close video of the Ford GTs' garage. An impressive engineering operation.

Ride a Bus and a Bike - At the Same Time!

More and more people are trying to eat better and get more exercise.  The problem with exercising is finding the time.  Those who live in cities with public transportation, particularly buses, find themselves asking, "should I ride the bus today or take my bike?"  Well, according to an article in the Huffington Post, you can now do both in Boston.  A husband and wife, both attorneys, have equipped a bus with stationary bikes like you would find in a health club.  The ride is typically 45 minutes, picking you up at home and taking you to your office.  Cost is $30.  So when your co-workers ask, "Did you take the bus or ride your bike?" your answer will be a startling "both."

Introducing DTC's NEW Civil PE Exam Review!

I am delighted to be introducing the brand new Dr. Tom's Classroom Civil Engineering PE Exam Review. With the success of my Mechanical Engineering PE Exam Review, I have received numerous requests to provide an exam review for Civil Engineers as well. It's something I have always hoped to do, and from my experience providing PE exam prep instruction on mechanical topics to civil engineers, I knew that the methods I developed for my online mechanical review could be applied to civil engineering as well. There was only one catch; there are five civil engineering areas covered in the Civil exam, and not only am I not a civil engineer, I'm not an expert in any of the civil areas.

Fortunately, I have been able partner with a group of amazing young engineers who are passionate about teaching in addition to being very skilled their fields of expertise. I am absolutely thrilled with the team of five instructors we were able to assemble to undertake this monumental task, one for each area covered on the Civil PE Exam. I hope you will read more about them. I have been so impressed with how they have embraced the Dr. Tom Method and have worked so diligently to create excellent lessons, problems and study plans. And they are all in it for the long haul. They will each be available to answer participant questions about the course content they have created.

The 20-Week Civil PE Exam Review follows the tried and true structure and method that I developed for my Mechanical Engineering PE Exam Review, and it provides a step by step path to being successful on the exam. The DTC Civil Engineering PE Exam Review for the April 2017 Exam is now available for registration. I hope that you will share this news with your Civil Engineering colleagues. We would love to help them be as successful as our Mechanical participants.

-Thanks, Dr. Tom

Welcome to Our New Blog!

I’m Dr. Tom, and I have enjoyed blogging on my Mechanical Engineering website for a couple years. Now, with the addition of Civil Engineering to the offerings available from Dr. Tom's Classrooms, I wanted to expand my reach. So I'm starting a new blog in Blogger. I want to make this page a place where I can share not only the news about Dr. Tom’s Classroom, but also to share insights on the Mechanical and Civil PE Exams, the world of mechanical and civil engineering, innovations in education and science, and, occasionally, wine-making. I'll also be inviting the DTC instructors to contribute to the blog as well. They are pretty smart and interesting bunch, stay tuned!

- Dr. Tom
