2 comments about Dissertation - An Architectural Student's Handbook (Architectural Students Handbooks).

1. Well, I bought this book as a guildline for writing an architectural dissertation proposal. The book includes good suggestion of how to begin the dissertation, generate ideas, write proposal, conduct an architectural research as well as give sources. This book is great for architecture students who are in the beginning process of writing thesis and dissertation.



2. Finally, a book on how to write a research paper, aimed at and written by architects! Other research methods books touch on what subjects to look at, how to go about analyzing information, etc, but rarely do they explain how to do a case study in detail, how to carry your "hypothesis" into your designs, and vise versa. This book should be a required text for anyone pursuing a professional degree in architecture!

1. There are numerous errors. The author should review each problem statement and solution, make revisions where needed, and send a FREE copy of the revised edition to the people who bought the first edition.



2. This book is full of errors, and the sample problems have almost no units included. I would not recommed this book, go to NCEE web site for a better sample exam.



3. I stongly encourage you not to order this book! It is full of errors. One problem contained three errors!! While the problem statements are worthwhile and very typical of the types of questions you will see on the exam, I spent a significant amount of time attempting to interpret the author's answers which were often erroneous. The book was so frustrating I didn't even complete it. I passed the test primarily because of my review using the Chemical Engineering Reference Manual - 5th Edition by Randall Robinson. I encourage all readers to base their studies for the PE exam on Robinson's book and avoid the frustration this book caused me.



4. I've worked through the first 16 problems. So far, I've found errors in 5 of them. Units are often omitted from the solution sets, making them difficult to follow. Problem M7 contains numerical errors in the solution set. Problem M13 is a condenser problem that gives a condensation rate, but no cooling water data and asks you to calculate the amount of cooling water required. Problem M14 has dimensionless equation that turns out not to be dimensionless. Problems M15 and M16 ask you to do calculations for a heat exhanger with a "hot" fluid going in at 350ºF and coming out at 450ºF while the "cold" comes in at 300ºF and goes out at 310ºF. I haven't yet attempted the PE exam, so I can't say whether or not the example problems are relevant to it.



5. The guide is at providing numerous example problems to work and practice. However, the first edition contains a frustrating amount of errors in the solutions. Some of the solutions contain typos, and several are just flat wrong. Also, the solutions don't contain any formulas, just numerics.... without UNITS. By simply adding the units the author would help folks like me who have forgotten some of the basics. Overall, I would recomend buying this book, but understand its limitations.
