Where do you attend university OP? The EE profs at my large state university would "go wild" in coming up with way to connect different devices together, such as having an old school teletype terminal write out "You've got mail!" when a hidden switch in a mailbox was triggered. To them, that was crazy pop culture enough. No cape shit or Trek Wars. Closest was one summer term there was an elective for "Starship Propulsion System Design" which was half fun but only if you had passed the basic math sequence (Calc 1-4, LA, DQ), along with the basic chem and physics sequences. It wasn't rigorous but wasn't space fairy magic either. The propulsion systems had to be in the realm of being theoretically possible, not "inertia goes away because the plot requires it to".
