Hey, I’m a rising sophomore, civil engineering major too. I have a TI-84 with useful apps that has lasted me all of high school and my first year of college. IMO, TI-83, 84, and 89 would probably be the most useful. TI-89 would be the best if you learn how to use it correctly.

Keep in mind you can’t use them on exams, only homework and (usually) recitations/workshops/labs. I’ve never been told to put it away or to get a scientific calculator during any class, and my Calc II and III TA even required us to use it to graph equations during workshops.

But you should definitely get a cheap scientific calculator to use during exams!
