“With the shift to CBT, the entire methodology for how to study and what to do on game-day has changed. The DTC method does an incredible job of teaching you what is in the reference handbook, but just as importantly it shows you what is not. The Reference Handbook Companion pages provided for each week were key to effective studying and I credit my performance largely to Dr. Tom and his review course.” 
– Andy Musselwhite, US Navy. Boston, Massachusetts

We were delighted to hear from Andy this week. Lt. Musselwhite is the first of our participants to take the new CBT Mechanical Exam, and he passed. He actually had to take the exam after completing only 15 of the 20 weeks of the Machine Design & Materials Review, which makes it an even more impressive feat.

Dr. Tom and the DTC Team have worked tirelessly for the last two years to develop and implement the new Dr. Tom Method for the CBT exam. It required a complete overhaul of our courses, which is within weeks of being complete. We knew that we had a winning method, but we are thrilled to have our confidence validated by this first participant. We can’t wait to hear from the rest!

Dr. Tom, as he is affectionately known, teaches the course overview lessons for Civil Engineering, outlining the Dr. Tom Method and Exam Strategy on which all DTC Reviews are based. Tom originally developed the 20-Week review format for the Mechanical PE Exams, and then, with the DTC Civil Instructors, he created the Civil PE Exam Review.

Hello, I’m Tom Brown, and I based my online 20-Week Mechanical Engineering PE Exam Review on my many years of experience preparing mechanical engineers for the PE Exam. With the help of my DTC team, I developed the tried and true structure and method that we offer online today. Our Civil and Mechanical courses will provide you will a step by step path to being successful on the exam. It requires a tremendous time commitment and effort on your part, but if you follow the plan that we have laid out for you, you will have everything you need to succeed.” – Tom Tom received his Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Tech in 1970.
