SEGD.org Open Source Design Software prepared by Chad Eby Herron School of Art + Design at IUPUI SEGD Academic Task Force SEGD Training Module Training SEGD Introduction to EGD Overview What is Open Source? Free and open source software (sometimes called FOSS) tools are developed “in the open” so that anyone may inspect an application’s source code—the underlying set of instructions that make the application work—that is hidden by design in proprietary tools. Not only is the source code visible, it is generally permissible to use, re- distribute and modify without restriction. This makes it free (as in freedom). As a side effect, many open source software tools are also free (as in beer), meaning image credit they are usable at no cost. Photo by Marc Mueller from Pexels Open Source Design Software Overview Why Use Open Source? An open source design software tool may be attractive to individuals and organizations due to the transparent nature of its development, the lack of restrictions on distribution and use, the suitability for a niche purpose too small for commercial viability, the low cost/no cost aspect or some combination of these factors. As good as open source tools may seem at first blush, there are some caveats. FOSS projects, especially in the early stages, may have sporadic development cycles and are sometimes abandoned entirely. Even in projects that are actively developed and well established, the documentation for the tool may lag well behind the latest released version. Finally, since some FOSS tools are passion projects of individuals or small teams, the software user interface may be quite eccentric. With these limitations in mind, open source design tools may be a useful addition to curriculum and practice, especially in under-resourced environments. image credit Photo by Kaique Rocha from Pexels Open Source Design Software Open Source Design Software Categories 2D vector tools: These include both CAD-style tools as well as vector drawing, animation and illustration software. 2D pixel tools: These include photo-editing, image processing, digital painting and 2D animation software. 3D modeling, printing, rendering and animation tools Audio and video editing tools Creative coding Word processing, spreadsheet, presentation and other office and organizational tools Vwanweb [CC BY-SA 4.0], from Wikimedia Commons Open Source Design Software Software Tools by category Dia 2D vector tool | Create and edit many types of diagrams, including UML diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams and more. https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Dia Embroidermodder 2D vector tool | Create, edit and see realistic previews of embroidery designs.

    Supporting candidates learning from home to prepare for computer-based practical tests Supporting candidates learning from home to prepare for the practical tests in Cambridge IGCSE ICT (0417), Cambridge IGCSE (9–1) ICT (0983) and Cambridge International A Level IT (9626) We understand that many centres and candidates are facing challenging times, and that some centres are having to teach practical IT skills remotely. Practical IT skills are a vital part of our IT syllabuses. We assess these skills through formal tests under controlled conditions. To maintain the integrity of the tests, and the value of our qualifications for students, we encourage centres to teach the full syllabus content, whether remotely or face to face. There are currently no adaptations to the practical skills requirements for March or June 2021. However, we understand that candidates do not always have access to proprietary (non-free) software that is licensed through their centre. This may be a significant barrier to candidates practising practical IT skills at home. Using the centre’s licensed software Where candidates are learning remotely, we recommend that you first check your software licences to see if they If your school currently uses proprietary software, you allow candidates to use the software on their home may find that one of the free/open source alternatives computers.

    Experiences in Using Open Source Software for Teaching Electronic Engineering CAD

    Experiences in Using Open Source Software for Teaching Electronic Engineering CAD Dr Simon Busbridge1 & Dr Deshinder Singh Gill School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics, University of Brighton, Brighton BN2 4GJ [email protected] Abstract Embedded systems and simulation distinguish modern professional electronic engineering from that learnt at school. First year undergraduates typically have little appreciation of engineering software capabilities and file handling beyond elementary word processing. This year we expedited blended teaching through the experiential based learning process via open source engineering software. Students engaged with the entire electronic engineering product creation process from inception, performance simulation, printed circuit board design, manufacture and assembly, to cabinet design and complete finished product. Currently students learn software skills using a mixture of electronic and mechanical engineering software packages. Although these have professional capability they are not available off-campus and are sometimes surprisingly poor in simulating real world devices. In this paper we report use of LTspice, FreePCB and OpenSCAD for the learning and teaching of analogue electronics simulation and manufacture. Comparison of the software options, the type of tasks undertaken, examples of student assignments and outputs, and learning achieved are presented. Examples of assignment based learning, integration between the open source packages and difficulties encountered are discussed. Evaluation of student attitudes and responses to this method of learning and teaching are also discussed, and the educational advantages of using this approach compared to the use of commercial packages is highlighted. Introduction Most educational establishments use software for simulating or designing engineering. Most commercial packages come with an academic licence which restricts access to on-site computers.

Duas educadoras de infância experientes exploraram o MyPaint com uma mesa de desenho digital com os seus grupos. Durante a experiência, foram recolhidos dados sobre a forma como as crianças se apropriaram do uso do software e sobre dimensões da sua aprendizagem do e com o software. Através de uma análise de conteúdo, diferentes aspetos da experiência foram agrupados em temas: organização da exploração do software nos dois contextos; aprendizagem das crianças sobre desenho e materiais de desenho, com relações entre o uso do software o desenho tradicional; e a colaboração para a aprendizagem.

Index Introduction OpenSCAD is a software for creating solid 3D CAD objects. It is free software (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) and available for GNU/Linux (http://www.gnu.org/) , MS Windows and Apple OS X. Unlike most free software for creating 3D models (such as the well-known application Blender (http://www.blender.org/) ), OpenSCAD does not focus on the artistic aspects of 3D modelling, but instead focuses on the CAD aspects. So it might be the application you are looking for when you are planning to create 3D models of machine parts, but probably is not what you are looking for when you are more interested in creating computer- animated movies. OpenSCAD is not an interactive modeller.
