I'm still waiting for someone to write a book on 3-D modeling that is not cryptic, does not attempt to assume you know the direction the author takes in their instruction and just starts out with the simplest of routines. Guess I'll have to wait a little longer.

I have used this book for 4 semesters to introduce Pro/ENGINEER part models, assemblies, and drawings. Students take the course with wide variety of backgrounds, some are previous users of Pro/ENGINEER, and some have no experience with any CAD program, and most have had some CAD experience. The tutorials are easy to follow, but not overly detailed. The problems presented at the end of each chapter allow the students to get enough practice and apply what the tutorials introduced. The best thing about the book is that the students seem to like it and are able to learn from it.

This book was very appualing, it was not up to the caliber of the books I usually read. There was not very much controvercy, that you would expect from a book like this. Although the complexity of the few decent stories that they had, it was very easy to understand. My son got ahold of this book, and was soon asking me all there questions about abortion. I thought it to be very unappealing. It offered a weak collection of essays from both side of the operating table. But, my friend, Brad Bucholtz (who lives in Berlin, WI) liked it very much, he bought 10 copies of this book for his whole family!

I'm an M.A. student in philosophy who has found this collection very useful and representative of the current state of the issue in American ethics. It contains landmark essays by landmark people and could be of much use both to the lay reader and in ethics classes. One must conclude that the gentleman who found the volume 'appualing' [sic] would be best served by english instruction and higher education before stumbling into untranslated Anglo-American philosophy.

The benfit to this book is for someone who has never entered Manufacturing Mode in Pro/Engineer. It gives a light overview of NC Sequence types. The Exercise is to make a Plaque with Letters...

This book lacks knowledge of interest to anyone with Pro/Engineer Design Experience. It does have enough information to Manufacture Parts or Organize your Process in a logical Fashion.

Its not worth the 39.95. It lacks Pictures (Descriptive or Not) with the Lesson Material and the Exercises. The exercise parts are not realistic or useful to your learning.

I would equate this book with a demo from PTC. Consider starting your manufacturing journey with a PTC course or Reading the PTC help. At least you learn the menu picks, the definitions, the process and work with exercises using curved surfaces.

If your just getting started in Pro-e, this is an excellent book to get started. Giving you good specific step-by-step details to following. But if you are working with any older versions (there are many of them) of pro-e the book can be a little confusing. You will learn how to completly assemble and create 3-d parts. Expanding and enhancing web sites is one way you can export your creations. It should come with a CD-ROM that is also very helpful with understanding the book better. I would recommend this book to anyone trying to learn the program. It will get you started at being proficient.

The book is titled "The History of the Knicks", but it's just a brief overview. It is only about 30+ pages long. There are no stats. It should have been named "A few good highlights of the Knicks". This is a book for a child that's not a basketball nut.
