Reading through these replies makes me realise how much less trusted our generation were (as a millennial), though in retrospect cheating was an issue when I was at university, and I think it is even more so these days.

When I was at Cambridge, though not for engineering, they had a system where you had to get your calculator pre-approved with a CU★ sticker. Seems like a good system because they had a list of approved calculators, but presumably had the flexibility to allow other, odd ones, too.
