    The document outlines the Thermal and Fluids Systems Depth module of the Principles and Practice of Engineering Examination for mechanical engineers. It is divided into three main sections: Fundamentals (33%), Components (34%), and Applications (33%). The Fundamentals section covers key engineering principles like fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics. The Components section addresses hydraulic and power plant equipment. Finally, the Applications section examines systems and processes involving areas such as cooling/heating cycles, steam systems, and combined cycles.

    THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF EXAMINERS FOR ENGINEERING AND SURVEYING

    PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF ENGINEERING EXAMINATION

    MECHANICAL
    (Depth Thermal and Fluids Systems)
    EFFECTIVE October 2001
    The mechanical engineering examination is a breadth and depth examination. This means that
    all examinees work the breadth (AM) exam and one of the three depth (PM) exams. The three
    areas covered in the mechanical engineering examination are HVAC and Refrigeration, Machine
    Design, and Thermal and Fluids Systems. The breadth exam contains questions from these three
    areas of mechanical engineering. The depth exams focus more closely on a single area of
    practice in mechanical engineering.
