Engineering and Computer Science: Lab Kits and Simulations

Free open source software for numerical computation, providing a powerful computing environment for engineering and scientific applications.

Online simulations in pipe stress abnd strain, globe, gate and ball valves, natural and mechanical ventilation, freezing and thawing rooms and more.

A two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software for unsteady, non-reactive/reactive flows. This software provides a handy CFD environment so that more people can get to know what CFD is like and simulate flows for their educational and/or academic interests

Free desktop app that provides simulations of a variety of chemical reactors. The Lab is useful in teaching Chemical Reaction Engineering. Students can actively learn about chemical reactions and reactors by performing experiments and analyzing data quickly, safely, and inexpensively.

Free and open-source software development toolkit that provides signal processing blocks to implement software radios. It can be used with readily-available low-cost external RF hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulation-like environment.

SimSE allows students to practice a "virtual" software engineering process (or sub-process) in a fully graphical, interactive, and fun setting in which direct, graphical feedback enables them to learn the complex cause and effect relationships underlying the processes of software engineering.

Digital Circuit Simulator - written in Java

A generic interface for the environmental perception of automated driving functions in virtual scenarios. Allows testing in virtual environments which offers the advantage of completely controlled and reproducible environment conditions.

More than 150 online simulations and other helpful faculty resources: activities and questions to ask students. Simulations are available in different languages.

Free engineering simulation software. It offers comprehensive software that spans the entire range of physics, providing access to virtually any field of engineering simulation that a design process requires.

Simulation-based engineering tool for designing green buildings and power stations that harness renewable energy to achieve sustainable development. Users can quickly sketch up a realistic-looking structure or import one from an existing CAD file, superimpose it on a map image, and then evaluate its energy performance for any given day and location. Based on computational physics and weather data, Energy3D can rapidly generate time graphs and heat maps) for in-depth analyses.
