    • Free Software schematic capture, simulation, routing and layout software for the Open Electronics Lab - Fedora electronics remix
  • CoE - Chat with Dean Scales, faculty technology committee about the computer requirement
  • Engineering education
  • OCS - i.e. improving assignment notification
