Summary: An excellent introduction to Pro/Engineer
Review: I am a Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of New Hampshire. I used this book to introduce a Freshman level design course to the use of Pro/Engineer. I had looked at most of the other Pro/Engineer books offerred by Amazon and selected this one based on its thoughtful step-by-step approach. The reaction from the 52 students in the class was extremely positive and they were able to progress through the ten lessons at the rate of about one per week.Because the author, Toogood, has experience in teaching this material to his own students he correctly anticipates where they are likely to be confused or make mistakes. The text is very good at anticipating these pitfalls and explaining how to avoid them. I also used the text as the basis for a "short course" taught to upper level undergraduates. We were able to progress through the material at the rate of two lessons per day, making the ten lessons fit nicely into a one week course. Overall, this is an excellent introduction to a powerful CAD package and I recommend it highly.

Summary: My experience with this book.
Review: I have had the experience with CAD tools such as AutoCAD and SDRC I-DEAS, but I had no experience with Pro/E. So I bought this book to teach myself how to use Pro/E. This book is pretty easy for me to follow. I spent average 3 or 4 hours on each lesson. I didn't do the exercises in each lesson though(I am busy with other things too). Still, after going through the texts, I am confident to make drawings for production. Although my previous CAD experience might have helped me, I still think this book is very good for people who start to use Pro/E: basic topics are covered, which are enough to enable you to make models or drawings for fabrication. Just my 2 cents.

Summary: A Decent Tutorial
Review: I just bought the Pro/E Tutorial and Advanced Tutorial. It's pretty thorough. High recommend for new users. Design Modeling with Pro/E is also a good book.

Summary: I wish this book had been out when we chose textbooks.
Review: I was a TA teaching ProENGINEER with a different book, and looked at several others when considering changing books. (We were not happy with the one we had, which was the first one available for 20, so we didn't have much choice at the time.) This is the book I recommended that the course change to - I felt it was well organized and thought out, and would be a good reference after the course was over.

Summary: Buy something else
Review: Maybe as an indroduction this book and its advanced brother would be useful as a free website recsource. However, when you consider the price they are not to impressive.... keep your money for a referance book (with an index) such as "Pro/Engineer Tips and Techniques", "Advanced Tips, Techniques and Work-arounds" or probably any other title.

Summary: Pro/ENGINEER Tutorial lives up to its name!
Review: The book is concise and yet gives a rather thorough introduction to the fundamentals of part creation, the making of engineering drawings, and assembly operations with Pro/E. My students have been able to work through the lessons with only minor need for assistance...these are students with no prior CAD or engineering graphics experience.
