Required Software Matrix

Class Proprietary Software VM WINE Native Linux Version Equivalent FOSS Notes
Multiple DyKnow yes Garbage no Ubiquitous Presenter (Free for academic use), completely free version a work in progress Get through installation by deleting the dependency entries.
Multiple MATLAB yes Gold yes QtOctave, FreeMat (stale?), Octave (console), Scilab (not syntax-compatible), Sage Parallelize number crunching using the CVL. ENGE 1104 requires functions not in Octave/FreeMat.
Multiple Visual C++ 2008 (Express) yes Garbage no GCC + GDB + Valgrind, KDevelop
BIT 2406 Microsoft Excel 2007 (Solver) yes Gold no Gnumeric (OpenOffice.org Calc does not generate reports) Absolute values ( such as "1" or "0") can not be used for

constraints. Multiple cell ranges can not be manipulated at once, making Gnumeric unusable for transshipment problems and goal programming. Cell ranges can only be compared to ranges of equal length and width in constraints. Nonlinear programming is not yet possible. Reports are dated in UTC.

BIT 2406 Microsoft Excel 2007 (Analysis Toolpack) yes Gold no Gnumeric
ECE 2074 PSpice yes Silver no Qucs You can probably replace the Tront PSpice book with the Qucs workbook.
ECE 2074 Zeitnitz Soundcard Oscilloscope  ? Gold no xoscope
ECE 2504 LogicWorks yes Gold no Qucs
ECE 2504 MPLAB yes Gold no Piklab
ECE 2534 Xilinx tools (parts GPL'd) sometimes quirky yes Use 9.x natively with libusb-driver.
ECE 3504 WinCupl Gold no Needs MFC40.dll:
wget http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vc/mfc40.cab
cabextract mfc40.cab
wine mfc40.exe
ENGE 1104 CodeWarrior no Bronze yes

Example LaTeX Chem Lab Report - An example lab report for CHEM 1045 written in LaTeX.
