Required Proprietary Software
This is a list of proprietary software required for classes.
| 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 | MS Visual C++ (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 Electric Circuit Analysis Laboratory | PSpice | yes | Silver | no | Qucs | You can probably replace the Tront PSpice book with the Qucs workbook. |
| ECE 2074 Electric Circuit Analysis Laboratory | Zeitnitz Soundcard Oscilloscope | ? | Gold | no | xoscope | |
| ECE 2504 Introduction to Computer Engineering | LogicWorks | yes | Gold | no | Qucs | |
| ECE 2504 Introduction to Computer Engineering | MPLAB | yes | Gold | no | Piklab | |
| ECE 2534 Microprocessor System Design | Xilinx tools (parts GPL'd) | sometimes quirky | yes | Use 9.x natively with libusb-driver. | ||
| ECE 3504 Digital Design I | WinCupl | Gold | no | Needs MFC40.dll:
wget http://activex.microsoft.com/controls/vc/mfc40.cab cabextract mfc40.cab wine mfc40.exe | ||
| ECE 4564 Network Application Design | MS Visual C# + .NET | yes | ? | no | MonoDevelop + Mono | |
| ECE 4560 Computer and Network Security Fundamentals | VMware products | ? | ? | yes | VirtualBox, QEMU, others | |
| ENGE 1104 | CodeWarrior | no | Bronze | yes | ||
| CEE 4024 (and others) | Microsoft Project | Yes | Bronze | No | GNOME Planner | Planner lacks resource levelling or constraints |
| Multiple (CEE and BC) | Autodesk Products | Buggy | Garbage | No | Success in Wine depends on the Autodesk product used and revisions of all software involved. | |
| Multiple | Microsoft Visio | Yes | Gold | No | Dia | Lots of add-ons for circuit shapes and logic for flowcharts |
