Required Proprietary Software

This is a list of proprietary software required for classes.


Course Proprietary Software VM WINE Native Linux Version Equivalent FOSS Notes
ENGE 1024 Engineering Exploration 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.
ENGE 1104 Exploration of Digital Future
ENGE 1024 Engineering Exploration LabVIEW yes
ENGE 1104 Exploration of Digital Future
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, eclipse-cdt
BIT 2406 Quantitative Methods Microsoft Excel 2007 (Solver) yes Gold no Gnumeric (LibreOffice Impress 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 Quantitative Methods 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 2074 Electric Circuit Analysis Laboratory Velleman PCSGU250 / PCLab yes Bronze? no none, if you want to use this hardware bwr is supposedly working on a linux driver so that this 'scope might also work with 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 VMware images are provided as a part of some assignments. Some of the images are in a newer VMware format that VirtualBox and QEMU cannot read and must be converted with VMware before use.
CS 4984 Introduction to Cyber Security
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
ECE 1574 Microsoft Visual Studio Yes Garbage No gcc, eclipse-cdt Compiling C++ in g++ is okay, but testing in a Visual Studio environment is recommended to make sure that the project will work correctly before turning it in.
COMM 2004 Public Speaking Microsoft PowerPoint Yes ? No LibreOffice Impress, Beamer Some instructors may require PPT files, but some may also accept PDF; your mileage will very depending upon your instructor.
MUS 1104 Music Appreciation (online) Sibelius Scorch Yes ? No Only used for a small number of lessons.
MUS 1104 Music Appreciation (online) Adobe Flash Player Yes ? Yes Used extensively in nearly all lessons.
