Description +

The FE Mechanical Review Manual is a full review of the NCEES FE Mechanical exam. Each topic gets a concise explanation, an exam-style example problem and a worked solution, so you see how the theory gets applied.

Michael R. Lindeburg, PE, built it around the NCEES FE Reference Handbook. Equations, figures and tables from the Handbook appear in blue throughout, so you learn where things live in the only reference you can use on exam day. It includes 570+ NCEES-aligned example problems, diagnostic exams for each topic, and an index of thousands of terms.

How to use +

Start with a diagnostic exam for the topic you feel least sure about. Your score shows whether you need the full chapter or just a refresher.

Read the chapter next, and pay attention to the blue Handbook elements. Practice finding them quickly, since that speeds you up on test day.

Work the example problems before reading the solutions. Compare your path to the worked solution, step by step, and note where yours went off.

Use the index for fast lookups when a term or equation comes up in later chapters. In your last weeks, retake the diagnostic exams to see which topics have improved. If you want more drilling volume, pair it with PPI's FE Mechanical Practice Problems.

"What sold me was how every topic maps straight to the handbook, the equations you actually get on exam day are highlighted right in the text. I ran the topic mini-exams a month out and knew exactly which knowledge areas to hit before I opened a single practice problem."

Questions Readers Ask Before Buying

Questions Readers Ask Before Buying

Everything you need to know before adding FE Mechanical Practice Problems to your library.

Is this a full review guide, or just a formula reference? +

It's a full review guide. Every knowledge area gets a concise explanation plus exam-like example problems with full step-by-step solutions, not just a list of equations.

Will this actually prepare me for the real NCEES FE Mechanical exam? +

It's built directly off the 2026 NCEES FE Mechanical exam specification, with 570+ NCEES-aligned problems and handbook equations called out in blue so you're working from the same reference you'll have on exam day.

Is this only useful for a first pass, or good for late-stage review too? +

Both. The topic-by-topic structure works as a first-pass study guide, and the 15 built-in mini-exams double as a diagnostic tool to find weak areas in the weeks before your exam.

How is this different from free study guides I can find online? +

Free resources are scattered across different formats and rarely map cleanly to the current NCEES handbook.

This organizes every equation, figure, and table from the handbook by exam topic, in the same structure and terminology you'll see on test day.

Does it cover all 15 NCEES exam topics, or just a few? +

All 15. Coverage runs from Mathematics and Statics through Thermodynamics and Ethics and Professional Practice, matching the full NCEES FE Mechanical knowledge area list.

Do I need the Practice Problems book too, or is this enough on its own? +

The Review Manual is complete on its own, with 570+ problems and full solutions built in.

It's also designed to pair with PPI's FE Mechanical Practice Problems if you want a larger volume of timed drilling on top of the review.

The Complete Knowledge-Area Reference for the NCEES FE Mechanical Exam

The Complete Knowledge-Area Reference for the NCEES FE Mechanical Exam

Most FE candidates walk in having reviewed scattered coursework notes, never quite sure which of the handbook's equations actually map to which exam topic until they're staring at the question.

This is the review manual built to close that gap, organizing all 15 NCEES knowledge areas around the same equations, figures, and tables you're allowed to reference on exam day.

Built Around the Handbook You'll Actually Use

Built Around the Handbook You'll Actually Use

Across [X] pages, Lindeburg walks through 570+ example problems using the exact equations and nomenclature from the NCEES FE Reference Handbook, called out in blue so you know exactly where to find them under exam conditions.

Every topic pairs a concise explanation with an exam-like example and a full worked solution, so you see how each equation gets applied instead of memorizing it in isolation

Built by the Publisher Behind FE and PE Exam Prep Since 1975

Written by Michael R. Lindeburg, PE, founder of PPI and publisher of FE and PE exam prep since 1975, this manual organizes each of the 15 NCEES knowledge areas around the current exam specification, not generic engineering coursework.

Built to be worked alongside PPI's FE Mechanical Practice Problems, whether you're going chapter by chapter or using the topic mini-exams to find where you're weakest before test day.
