[FOSSEE] Better Education

FOSSEE (Free/Libre and Open Source Software for Education) project promotes the use of free open source software (FOSS) tools in academia and research. The FOSSEE project is part of the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (ICT), Ministry of Education (MoE), Government of India. 

Below is the list of projects which are promoted by FOSSEE.

• Scilab 
  free/libre and open source software for numerical computation developed by Scilab Enterprises, France. Scilab also includes Xcos which is an open source alternative to Simulink.
• Python 
  general-purpose, high-level, remarkably powerful dynamic programming language that is used in a wide variety of application domains. It supports multiple programming paradigms.
• eSim 
  (formerly known as Oscad/FreeEDA) is an EDA tool for circuit design, simulation, analysis and PCB design. It is developed by the FOSSEE team at IIT Bombay 
• Osdag 
  free/libre and open-source software which allows the user to design steel structures using a graphical user interface. The GUI also provides 3D visualization of the designed component and images
• DWSIM 
  free/libre and open source CAPE-OPEN compliant chemical process simulator. Helps understand the behavior of Chemical Systems by using rigorous thermodynamic and unit operations models.
• OpenFOAM 
  free/libre and open source CFD toolbox useful to solve anything from complex fluid flows involving chemical reactions, turbulence and heat transfer, to solid dynamics and electromagnetics.
• OpenModelica 
  free/libre and open source environment based on the Modelica modelling language for modelling, simulating, optimising and analysing complex dynamic systems.
• OpenPLC 
  free/libre and open source Programmable Logic Controller creating opportunities for people to study its concepts, explore new technologies and share the resources.
• FLOSS-Arduino
  control of Arduino using Free/Libre Open-Source Software. The interface helps the user to perform embedded systems experiments on the Arduino Uno board.
• SBHS
  (Single Board Heater System) is a lab-in-a-box setup useful for teaching and learning control systems.
• R 
  programing language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.
• QGIS
  (Quantum GIS) is a free and open-source desktop Geographic Information System (GIS) application.
• FOCAL 
  an initiative by FOSSEE to promote Open Source Software in computer graphics.
• SOUL
  (Science OpensoUrce Software for Teaching Learning) is a collection of ICT software that can be used as teaching/learning tools by the community of educators and the learners to teach/ learn the basic as well as the advanced concepts in science subjects

Hybrid Systems-in-Foil: Enabler or Flexible Electronics

Presented by: Joachim N. Burghartz

Date: 22 August 2018

Time: 11 AM – 12 PM EDT 

Hybrid Systems-in-Foil: Enabler or Flexible Electronics - Flexible electronics add mechanical flexibility, shape adaptivity and stretchability as well as large-area place ability to electronic systems, thus allowing for conquering fundamentally new markets in consumer and commercial applications. Hybrid assembly of large-area devices and ultra-thin silicon chips on flexible substrates is viewed as an enabler to high-performance and reliable industrial solutions as well as to high-end consumer applications of flexible electronics. This talk discusses issues in ultra-thin chip fabrication, device modeling and circuit design, as well as assembly and interconnects for thin chips embedded into foil substrates in which flexible large-area components are implemented for an overall optimized Hybrid System-in-Foil (HySiF).
