FEATURED TESTIMONIAL – A Great Course!
“Thank you Dr. Tom and team for this great course! I was very unsure with all the new changes that have been made to the standard PE Exam with the introduction/changeover to CBT format. With the help of God, lots of hard work, and what I’ve learned through this course, I passed the PE Thermal […]
Hidden Benefit of Traffic Congestion?
The human element is an omnipresent component of transportation engineering. No matter how a road is designed, we need to consider how drivers will react and behave. As congestion has decreased and roads have been more sparsely populated during COVID-19, some drivers have decided to excessively speed – putting their lives and others at risk. This is perhaps […]
Will This Supersonic Jet Be the Next Air Force One?
When I was working on my BS degree in Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech, our senior design project was to design a supersonic business jet. It was to carry about a dozen passengers. There were 5 teams, each with a different wing configuration: straight, swept, two delta, and an ogive. Since the Concorde had a ogive wing, that […]
FEATURED TESTIMONIAL – Best Option on the Market, Hands Down
“Dr. Tom’s 20-week Thermal Fluid System course is the best option on the market, hands down. During my preparation, I was fortunate to have access to two other mainstream services. After a few weeks of using them concurrently, it was apparent that Dr. Tom’s Classroom would be the most effective use of my time. His […]
“Skin” Senses Cracks in Bridges
Fatigue cracks in steel members can result in sudden and catastrophic failures. Unfortunately, they’re also very difficult to see during bridge inspections. Researchers at Iowa State University College of Engineering are testing a new skin-like monitoring tool to help inspectors detect, localize, and quantify the cracks. – Shannon Warchol, DTC Civil Structural Instructor Dr. Tom’s […]
Practice Makes Perfect
Poor time management during the exam. That is the most common reason our participants say kept them from passing the exam. With the clock ticking, especially on the CBT format exam, it’s easy to get thrown off your exam-day plan, waste time on difficult problems, realize the clock is running out, and panic. But it […]
Setting a Good Example
I was reading a recent ASME SmartBrief that quotes Albert Schweitzer, famous for his humanitarian work in Africa, saying “A good example has twice the value of good advice.” As we know, advice is free, however setting a good example takes tireless work, the proper knowledge, and precise skills to perform that work with great pride. Engineers, […]
FEATURED TESTIMONIAL – A Huge Part in My Passing
“I took the new CBT version of the MDM test on 7/27/20 and found out today that I passed. I took the 20-Week DTC review after failing the first time I took the PE, and I believe that doing this course was a huge part in my passing the second time. The problems in the […]
Tracking COVID-19 Through Wastewater
Multiple research groups worldwide are now tracking the spread of the coronavirus via wastewater testing, including groups at NC State , UW-Milwaukee and Wisconsin State, and Clemson University. Studies have shown that people infected with COVID-19 can shed genetic material from the virus in their feces. The idea is that by detecting the virus in […]
