At Petro Publications, our purpose is to elevate the engineering profession by supporting lifelong learning, professional integrity, and meaningful achievement. We believe every engineer deserves access to resources that not only help them pass the Professional Engineering (PE) license exams but also prepare them to lead, innovate, and leave their own legacy.
We are dedicated to providing engineers with high-quality preparation materials and reference manuals tailored to support their success in engineering professional licensing exams. Our PE exam resources are specifically designed to help engineers master the content, build confidence, and achieve licensure. Currently, we offer comprehensive publications focused on Civil Engineering – the most in-demand discipline – with plans to expand into additional fields in the near future.
Our goal goes beyond exam preparation – we aim to build a legacy of excellence in engineering education. By providing accessible, affordable, and high-quality resources, we hope to shape the next generation of licensed engineers who design, build, and lead with integrity. We envision a future where every aspiring professional has the tools and knowledge needed to contribute meaningfully to their communities and the engineering profession. As we grow, our commitment remains the same: to support lifelong learning, uphold high standards, and leave a lasting impact on the industry.

""While the problems in this book are very challenging, they provide excellent depth of exposure to the topics required on the WRE PE exam. I highly recommend this book since many of the problems go beyond just simple use of the formulas requiring understanding of topics that help to answer the tricky conceptual questions that show up on the PE exam.""

""I have been using Dr. Petro's book for my PE WRE exam preparation, and I can't recommend it enough! The material is thorough, easy to understand, and extremely helpful in navigating the complexities of the exam. What really sets this book apart is Dr. Petro's exceptional level of support—when I reached out with a question, he responded promptly and addressed my confusion right away. At under 100 dollars, this book provides great value, and I honestly feel it is a better option than many other expensive courses out there. I previously took a class with PPI, and unfortunately, my questions were never answered. With Dr. Petro’s book, I feel supported and confident in my preparation. Overall, this book has been an invaluable resource in my exam preparation. I truly appreciate the effort Dr. Petro has put into making this such an effective tool. Highly recommend it to anyone preparing for the PE WRE exam!""

""This book was a real eye opener for me, it offered valuable insights and practical tools that I applied during my studies. It helped me identify and target my weak areas, which turned out to be more than I initially thought. As a result of that I deepened my knowledge of the normal topics and the new ones. I highly recommend this book especially considering the challenging problems it has. Per my own experience, the problems, or most of them are made intentionally challenging, but given the geotech is one of the most difficult topics and impossible exams, doing these porblems methodically will def help you prepare. Also, this book covers really all if not every code or topic or manual lists in the requirements!""
