OK, I thought you meant the *software* engineering part of Sage itself, as opposed to say the features that are useful for an engineer. Thank you very much for clarifying this issue, and your growing wish list is certainly very welcome.

With regards to Bode plot, do you mean something like the following? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bode_plot > Then, I went through the integration issues, and Laplace and Fourier > transform.

Keep the feature requests coming. It's one way of knowing what's missing in Sage.
