Built by a working engineer, not a course company
I’m Alan Rathbun, a practicing mechanical engineer at the Hanford Site. I built PE Prep Engine while studying for the PE myself, because the prep courses I looked at cost $1,000–$2,600 and still left me hunting through the NCEES Handbook for the equation I actually needed.
So every lesson here is indexed to the handbook you get on exam day — section and page — and every video, companion PDF and cheat sheet is free. If you find a wrong answer, tell me and I’ll fix it; that has already happened dozens of times, and the corrections ship the same week.
