The department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at North Carolina State utilizes and contributes to a wide array of useful research and developement tools designed to better understand and explore emerging ideas. Below, you will find links to web pages that outline three of these tools. On each site you will have the opportunity to learn more about the applications, and will be given the chance to download them for personal use. The sites also contain manuals and instructions, as well as contact information for the developers.
fREEDA uses state variables, local reference group concepts and automatic differentiation to capture multi-physics. fREEDA has been contributed to by Dr. Michael Steer.
The Virtual Laboratory is a collection of simulation environment applets for experimenting on introductory topics in Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The NC State University Cadence Design Kit (NCSU CDK) contains information useful for analog/full-custom digital CMOS IC design via the MOSIS IC fabrication service.
