Not all online courses are created equal. What sets DTC apart is the effectiveness of our courses, which is a direct result of our collective expertise in and focus on teaching via an online platform.

Dr. Tom’s Classroom was started with one goal in mind, to create the best online PE Exam Review possible. It began with Dr. Tom’s decades of experience teaching all the basic mechanical engineering undergraduate course: statics, dynamics, solids, fluids, thermal I and II, heat transfer. With that foundation, he began to teach live and webinar-based Mechanical PE Exam reviews. That was great, but he had a vision that he could help more people via an online class.

Enter the rest of the DTC team, who brought their own decades of experience with distance learning, instructional design, and video training. Partnering with one of the highest-rated learning management systems, Dr. Tom and the team developed the tried and true structure and method that we offer in our online reviews today.

Our courses take the maximum advantage of the flexibility of online learning. Available 24/7, they allow you to work through your review when it’s most convenient for you, without having to worry about missing a class.

At the same time, our courses provide you with structure. Given the scope of the material that must be mastered, having a clear and targeted review is essential. No time wasted on low probably high difficultly topics. More time spent on “low hanging fruit” that will help you get the points you need to pass the exam.

We have designed our courses to give you have lots of hands-on work to do, with numerous practice problems to build your familiarity with problem identification and confidence in solving problems quickly.

And most importantly, we give you strategies for success. Passing the exam is about much more than understanding concepts. You need to have an approach that will serve you well on exam day, that’s what we offer.

We continue to improve our online courses every day, using the new tools that become available and adapting to meet the challenges of the new 
CBT Exam format.

“I initially was planning to attend a live class offered by another company. However, sitting through 4 days in a row of 8 hour classes (for three weekends) did NOT appeal to me or fit my learning style. Tackling it at MY pace and on MY schedule (weekday lunch and evenings, weekends), focusing on solving examples, and shoring up trouble areas before progressing to new lessons was the only way I could effectively learn the material. Doing, not merely watching is the key for me.”
-Brent V., PE, Houston, Texas

“Having never taken an online course, I was initially very skeptical. After taking Dr. Tom’s course, I realize the many benefits of an online course. There is great value in being able to pause, back up watch the material multiple times if you need to do so.”
Bill, PE, Texas

The Dr. Tom Method & Strategy

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. He earned a Masters Degree in Engineering Mechanics from Georgia Tech in 1973. Dr. Tom holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, earned at NC State. Today, Dr. Tom is the founder and driving force behind Dr. Tom’s Classroom where he pursues his passion of teaching engineers how to prepare for and pass the PE exam.
