MECHANICAL PE EXAM TIP – Units, Units Units!!!

If I wasn’t Dr. Tom, I’d be Dr. Units. I cannot tell you how many times units are the reason someone gets the wrong answer to a problem. It might be as simple as inches needed to be converted to feet, or the other way around. Or, it is a combination of units like gallons per minute […]

The last day at the AHR Expo was a blast

The last day at the AHR Expo was a blast! We had lots of fun chatting with a group from Dewberry’s Raleigh office. We had to go all the way to Atlanta to get this great selfie! Dr. Tom got a visit from a DTC student who is now having an exciting career aboard as […]
