Help! upcoming degree

[ma60rco]

Good morning, everyone! I apologize early for the lightness of the topic but I need advice! My daughter's fiancé will soon take master's degree in mechanical engineering and we are looking for a gift. I wanted to know therefore if there are tools you think can be useful to an engineer or tools, such as the computer ruler, used in the past in the profession.. even small items but that can please an engineer!!! Thank you!

mmm maybe a programmable calculator such as hp50g, rather than texas instruments, always considering the fact that it does not already possess it.
or a laptop, rather than a netbook, but with the same consideration.
or some engineering manuals. . .

Given that perhaps a computer gift is not the most suitable gift, as it has a finite and generally short life, given the high obsolescence of these products, this is really interesting:http://www.livescribe.com/it/smartpen/index.htmlis a pen with integrated recorder and scanner in its tip. it stores inside the notes taken and connects them with the recorded.
to make meetings is a fantastic object, as well as to take notes to lessons.
definitely an object that does not think of buying itself.

I do not possess it: but I have seen it in operation and I assure you that it is really a revolution! !

but that can please an engineer!!! Thank you!

to me would like a plane ticket to a European city for two, maybe with three-4 nights in a hostel as poor students but with a view on the sacred heart, like for example.. . : http://www.villagehostel.fr/?page_id=2 :biggrin:

the engineer's manual (new colombo) an timeless classic!

My daughter's boyfriend soon he will take master's degree in mechanical engineering and we are looking for a gift.
....

Don't take it, but if you give it a couple of nights in the hotel (regardless of where...) is definitely appreciated... .
:finger::tongue:

Also a job would not be bad seen the times.
but I'm quoting colleagues... a short trip in pleasant company is certainly welcome.

I would like to like it... even if I really like technological things. but surely a journey is always beautiful, both for relaxation and as cultural baggage.

the engineer's manual is always appreciated.

However, if there is also the trip, I definitely do the trip. if you go in the period of Christmas markets praga and vienna are spectacular.

The dear old meccano!
This is is truly ignorant

if you go on the books also the baldassini returns very useful.
(very) less useful, but I noticed that many engineers like the "galactic guide for autostoppisti", maybe the collection of the whole cycle

you go on the journey (hotly recommended by me), to cracovia recommend the good bye lenin as hostel
