Mechanical Engineering License Review, Fifth Edition

The NCEE Task Analysis Survey surfaced areas of professional practice which are now being incorporated into the fabric of the examination for mechanical engineering. This area of the examination, called management or production engineering, includes problem situations that represent professional situations that a mechanical engineer may encounter relating to any of the following: tool and jig design, maintenance management, manufacturing, materials handling, plant design, fire protection, and metal fabrication. This supplement provides a sampling of this area.
