Summary: WARNING
Review: Buyer Beware - This book does not include the CD-ROM that is required to complete the lessons. You will get to the second chapter and hit a brick wall. Every lesson from there on requires you to open a Pro/E tutorial file. Don't waste your money like I did.I also bought and highly recommend Pro/Engineer 2001 by David S. Kelley, ... It includes the CD-ROM and each tutorial file is available in either the student or professional version. This is very important if you are using a student license of Pro/E as it will not open regular Pro/E files.

Summary: PRO/E 2001 STUDIES
Review: I started training and working with PRO/E for product design 9 years ago. During this time I have helped to train other engineering staff members to use PRO/E at different companies. The hard part about it is the extra time needed to prepare a PRO/E class curriculum while maintaining project workloads. This is the first time I have opted to buy a book for an in-house PRO/E class. I was pleased to see that the class exercises would lead the student through an assembly project from start to finish creating parts, assemblies and drawings. To date, we are working through the book with few issues on the step-by-step PRO/E procedures using the current "proe2001" software. Looking forward, I see that this book covers advanced PRO/E topics not normally covered in the basic training that will put the student ahead of their peers. I would recommend to the author that the next book have an Index to better help the student. In my opinion, over all, this book is working out fine for our training needs.

Summary: Frustration ahead
Review: This book consistently uses terms for buttons, icons, menu items, etc. that are inconsistent with the actual names in the program itself. This makes it extremely difficult for the new user to confidently navigate Pro Engineer for the first time. A lot of rather simple steps are omitted, that may not be a big deal to a seasoned user, but to a new user, it just causes frustration. Plus it doesn't come with the CD for chapter 2 and on. I would avoid this book and buy "The Essentials of Pro/E" which actually comes with a CD, and is a lot better with the consistency of their wording, although there are still a few mistakes here and there.
