Electrical and Computer Engineers use many differnt types of
software to build their projects. Whether it be circuit
modeling or creating individual programs. Below is a list
of some of the software applications that EE and CmpE majors
will use during their academic studies. If there is a
change in a software or one that is missing and should be added
contact the site master here.
NOTE: Software in blue are used in classes mainly
taken by CmpE majors and are not ECE classes

Description |

Orcad PSpice |
Circuits 1 (EE 206) |
PSpice® simulator is a full-featured analog and mixed-signal simulator supporting
everything from high-frequency systems to low-power IC designs. Advanced
features enable “what if” analyses, allowing engineers to explore various
design configurations before committing to final implementation. The
powerful and robust simulation engine of PSpice integrates easily with
Orcad Capture® design entry and Concept® HDL schematic capture. It allows
engineers to create designs, control simulations, and interpret the results in a single environment. |
|
BlueJ |
Computer Science 1 (CSci 160) |
BlueJ's Java development IDE helps
create a simple environment on programming while teaching very
core practices of Java. Object testing allows instances of
objects to be tested individually with a visual interace for
multiple objects. The class diagram also helps show paths
and inheritance connections between all classes created in a
project. |
|
NetBeans |
Computer Science 2 (CSci 161) |
For an IDE that is open source, this one has almost
everything a developer could want. This Oracle IDE
originally created by Sun Microsystems can develop programs in
many languages from C/C++ to Fortran, Javal languages, Ruby, and
many more. |
|
Visual C++ |
Assembly Programming (ECE 373) |
As part of the Visual Studio Family, Visual C++ is available
as an express download from microsoft for free. The
express version contains many of the same features as the full
download, especially those important for students. |
