“Counting only the two major platforms in the mobile space today, iOS and Android, there are more than 500,000 apps available these days,” says David Homes, director of technology at IPROBLUE Tech, which develops mobile engineering solutions. According to Barone, “The demand is there but it’s unrecognized yet.” There are several apps available for electrical and civil engineers, but there aren’t as many for mechanical engineers. “Apps are specific and fit in perfectly with the tasks engineers do daily,” says Barone. “A mobile app is in a broader sense a software program, but it’s more dedicated and task-oriented than an intensive app for a computer,” says Mike Barone, senior design engineer for Hamilton Sundstrand, a division of UTC. The computing power, ease-of-use, and convenience of unmatched portability are the key reasons why thousands of smartphone users download apps on their phones daily. You just saved a few minutes to solve a simple problem with just the tap of a finger. The app takes between oneand two seconds to launch and has the specific options you need to quickly complete this task. Instead, you take out your smartphone and launch an app. If you had a laptop, you would boot it, launch a program, and get the results in a couple of minutes. Consider this scenario: You are in the field and you need to obtain the mechanical properties for a given geometric section.
