Engineering App for Android

As a chemical engineer, I found myself having to run back from the field to my office to complete instrument & volume calculations, then running back to the field to report the numbers.

Since many of these calculations were not readily available online, and the repetition of opening an archaic spreadsheet annoyed me, I created my own Android app to house multiple engineering calculators.

I admit, I could’ve gone back to include a better app name, improved the design, and correct a few minor issue like text wrapping… but it works!

I was going for functionality to save me time on the job, and I accomplished just that. I should mention, that I did take the time to handle basic exceptions, as to minimize program disruptions and improve user experience.

I’ve made this app and the calculations available for all developers at:

Some of the unique calculations are from:
