  • 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.

  • CHRISTOPHER J. MADSEN [email protected]
    CHRISTOPHER J. MADSEN [email protected] PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE WYLE CAS GROUP SEPTEMBER 2011-PRESENT Developed a 6 degree-of-freedom aerodynamic simulator that correctly models the flight dynamics of spinning rockets. Aerodynamic coefficient inputs to the simulation were estimated using Missile DATCOM and computational fluid dynamic (CFD) tools like OpenFOAM. Mass properties were estimated from CAD models or measured. Used radar data and inertial measurements from flight test to improve and validate the models. Worked on an Integrated Flight Simulation (IFS) to evaluate the performance of missiles against hostile rockets, mortars, and artillery shells. The simulation precisely modeled radar and missile seeker performance and ran the actual missile software including GNC algorithms. I was involved in all aspects of testing and running the simulation, especially the aerodynamic model, GNC algorithms, state estimators, and signal processing. Fixed bugs in the simulation and made modifications to it as required to perform trade studies. Telemetry from each live test was used to validate the simulation. Used optimal control theory (often with the use of PSOPT, an open source pseudospectral optimization tool) to generate optimal missile flight trajectories and control inputs for maximal performance before integrating the algorithms in the flight simulation. Worked as a data analyst at live tests analyzing data from radars, guns, and missiles. Developed software to aid in visualization and understanding of what happened and speed up the analysis process. PERL RESEARCH 2006-SEPTEMBER 2011 Developed native and web applications for the iPhone including ones that communicate with external hardware I designed in accordance with Apple's hardware specifications. Wrote image processing software to detect humans in live video streams and monitor their vital signs using desktop computers and Nvidia's CUDA framework.
