It pro motes many open source software systems\, such as Scilab\, Python\, R\, Op enModelica\, OpenFOAM and DWSIM. It also promotes open source hardware pro jects\, such as Arduino\, and OpenPLC.\n\nBy combining KiCAD and Ngspice\, FOSSEE has developed an open source circuit simulation software eSim (htt ps://esim.fossee.in). By incorporating GHDL\, eSim has been made capable o f carrying out mixed signal simulation. This capability has been extended to simulate circuits with microcontrollers\, with every instruction being implemented through a function written in C. The FOSSEE team has also crea ted a cloud version of eSim (https://simulation.iitbx.in/). FOSSEE carries out several activities to promote circuit simulation through eSim. It has trained about 37\,500 students (12\,500 women and 25\,000 men) and 5\,000 faculty members (2\,000 women and 3\,000 men) on the use of eSim. FOSSEE helps colleges migrate their labs from proprietary software to eSim. About 500 electronic circuits have been coded in eSim by students across India\ , and these are released as open educational resources. These include circ uits automatically converted from PSpice and LTSpice schematics to KiCAD\, and hence\, eSim. The talk will begin with an introduction to Spoken Tuto rials (https://spoken-tutorial.org)\, the methodology developed by the spe aker for large scale training on IT topics. The talk will also give an ove rview of FOSSEE's activities.\n\nSPEAKER BIO:\nProf. Kannan Moudgalya is a n Emeritus Fellow at IIT Bombay in the department of chemical engineering\ , where\, he was previously a Chair Professor. He received a B.Tech degree in Chemical Engineering at IIT Madras. He received Ph.D and Master of Ele ctrical Engineering degrees from Rice University. His areas of research in terest are modelling\, simulation\, optimisation\, and educational outreac h. He has written two textbooks: Digital Control\, published by John Wiley &Sons\, and Optimization\, Theory and Practice\, by Narosa.\n\nKannan has been focusing on massive IT skills education using open source software th rough Spoken Tutorial and FOSSEE projects. More than 8 million students ha ve been trained using these projects. The FOSSEE project trains students t o such a high level that they can become contributors themselves. He is ex tending the Spoken Tutorial approach to other skills topics\, such as heal th\, nutrition\, and breastfeeding.\n\nKannan received the Google MOOCs Re search Award for the offline capability in Spoken Tutorials. He was nomina ted for the Hindustan Times for Mumbai 2015 award. The Spoken Tutorial pro ject received the best prize in the Reimagine Education Award 2015 institu ted by QS-Wharton\, in the Nurturing Employment category. He received the Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Recognition for Reengineering India 2020.\n\nRoom : ETZ J64.1\, Bldg: ETZ\, ETH Zurich \, Gloriastrasse 35\, Zurich\, Switze rland\, Switzerland LOCATION:Room: ETZ J64.1\, Bldg: ETZ\, ETH Zurich \, Gloriastrasse 35\, Zur ich\, Switzerland\, Switzerland ORGANIZER:mathieu.coustans@fhnw.ch SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:eSim: An Open Source CAD Software for Circuit Simulation URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/423779 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>SPEAKER:</strong><br>Prof. Kannan Moudgalya\, IIT Bombay (IN)<br><br><strong>ABSTRACT:</strong><br>Free and Open Source Software for Education (FOSSEE) (<a href="https://fossee.in" t arget="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com /url?q=https://fossee.in&amp\;source=gmail&amp\;ust=1718114183031000&amp\; usg=AOvVaw3pUECSP2sFEkL3L0-3zF0c">https://fossee.in</a>) is a project init iated by the Ministry of Education at IIT Bombay.
