Required Proprietary Software

This is a list of proprietary software required for classes.


Course 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.
ENGE 1024 Engineering Exploration

ENGE 1104 Exploration of Digital Future

LabVIEW
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 Quantitative Methods 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 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 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
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
