What Calculator Should an Engineer Buy?

I TA the engineering math courses at Cornell. Students are never allowed calculators for tests, and HW usually doesnt require calculators.

Although an 89 or NSpire could be useful (it is powerful, yes), it is absolutely not necessary. We have MATLAB, Mathematica, etc on many library computers for computationally intensive assignments.
