Built the way an engineer would build them

Every tool starts from a real problem, not a template. Here's what that means in practice.

Verified

The math actually works

Every formula is checked against known values before it ships. No broken references, no guesswork.

Ready

Open it and go

Yellow input cells, a "Start Here" tab, and a clean layout. You enter numbers; the tool does the rest.

Practical

Made from real coursework

Built by an IE student who kept rebuilding the same calculators, refined into tools anyone in the field can use.

Find your tool by domain

From OEE dashboards to interview prep, organized the way industrial engineering actually breaks down.

A few to start with

The tools that apply across the widest range of IE work and coursework.

Free: the 12 Mistakes Workbook

Twelve formulas engineers get wrong, each one shown beside the method that is actually right, with the gap between them in money or units. Thirteen tabs, live numbers you can change, nothing locked and nothing hidden.
