I think that you are a little confused.  When I was in engineering 
school, E.E.s bought log-log-duplex-vector slide rules, usually made 
by K&E.  The others needed only the decitrigs.  The advantage of the 
vector slide rules is in the name - the vector capability simplified 
(?) ac calculations involving phase angles.

I doubt very much if today I could use the vector scales on my slide 
rule, which I still have.  But it became moot after I got my HP-35 
"electronic slide rule."
