Shigley's Mechanical Engineering Design 10th Edition

This book isn’t terrible. It does a decent job explaining a fairly difficult subject, I just had a poor teacher who didn’t further help me understand the subject. The images are generally good and large enough to understand and there are quite a few example problems, but they all are very basic. The book itself is very large and heavy, so don’t expect to want to carry it around in a backpack all day, especially if you have other books/binders. It would be a great resource to keep around if you’re going into the mechanical field. Be sure to dedicate time to go through the book on your own.

I bought this because it was a recommended supplement for the Mechanical Engineering PE exam, listed in both the MERM and in online blogs as a must have if you are taking the Mechanical Design Depth PM portion.If I could return it I would, unlike the MERM or even the Machine Design Handbook this book lays out examples in what I consider an often confusing way.I tried using it as a reference but I literally spent an hour trying to unravel an example in this book because so many vital steps were skipped.I'll lug this along with me but If I end up digging into this book then I know Im going to a 'hail mary.'I've referenced the Machine Design handbook a few times doing practice problems but mostly I've been just fine with the MERM.Honestly, unless you used this an undergrad and are familiar with it I would probably save the money and the weight in your bag.Great for theories and one question on the NEECs sample exam referenced this book but I doubt I'd be able to 1, Find what I need 2. Understand it 3. Apply it in less than 10 minutes or even an hour. For that reason I wouldnt buy it again for the PE exam. We'll see what i say after I take it....

The bible of mechanical engineering. This book covers a huge range of topics which will be useful to everyone from mechanical engineering students to engineering professionals. It doesn't have as many examples as some other engineering design books, but it makes up for this in its quality of content. A few of the mechanical engineers that I work with carry this book on their shelves to use as reference. Would recommend to anyone who wants a great reference.

Great resource for mechanical design. Easy to understand.
