smart phones) have been introduced with significantlyreduced computational capabilities. This is only natural since these mobile devices where notdesigned to perform intense numerical calculations. However, they have become as common asslide rules in the 1960’s or hand calculators for the last four decades. There is now hardly anengineer without a smart phone. The question becomes, why is engineering education not usingsmart phones and tables (mobile devices) for complex engineering analysis? Two main concernscome to mind immediately, their screen sizes are small when compared to traditional desktop orlaptop computers, and they are relatively slow (but still faster than desktop computers in the1980’s). While the screen size can be a problem
