I’m civil engineering student & I want to buy a scientific calculator, I have also been told to choose between Texas and algebra what should I do?

I've always been very happy with the Texas Instrument (TI) brand. I'd just suggest going to somewhere like Staples and look through them to see which one has all the functions you'll need. I'd reccommend not getting a ton more functions than needed though because it will just make the calculator more complicated to use. I believe mine is a TI-36 and I love it.
Or you can check out what's available at:

I have a TI 83 Plus because I was taking a course in statistics but also needed trig and scientific functions. But you will pay around $100. And worry about getting it stolen.
You can get a good calculator from TI, TI30XA, for less than $20 that is not graphing but has all of the scientific functions you will need.
Be sure you don't buy HP calculators that use Reverse Polish Notation which is useless to most people.

Having graduated recently from engineering school, I would strongly recommend the TI-89 or TI-92+.

TI-89 Titanium is great for most engineering needs.

I have an HP that is older than I care to admit. They are very durable.
