A Good Resource for the PE Exam

I found the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Engineering to be a valuable resource when taking the Chemical Engineering PE Exam (Principles & Practice of Engineering). Having this resource with me on Exam Day enabled me to bag several of the 80 questions that I probably would have missed otherwise.The publication lists a lot of acromyms, many of which don't appear as such in the index of Perry's Handbook, or in the indices of any of my textbooks.Even if you decide it's not much good for anything else, it's still worth the purchase price just to have it with you on Test Day.
