Free and Open Source Offerings at MTU[edit | edit source]
Courses[edit | edit source]
- MSE4777/MSE5777/EE4777/EE5777 Open-source 3-D printing - teaches OpenSCAD, FreeCAD, Blender, Arduino, and RepRap 3-D printing
- MY5490/EE5490 - Solar Photovoltaic Science and Engineering - teaches NREL's Open Source SAM
Research[edit | edit source]
- Digital Commons @ Michigan Tech is a digital repository offering worldwide access to research, scholarship, campus publications and other creative works by members of the Michigan Tech community. This repository is a service of the Van Pelt and Opie Library. Free access to over 5000 articles
Free Data[edit | edit source]
- KRC weather station - includes live, webcam and full archival weather data, for solar flux - Eppley PSPs not heated or aspirated. Note that the "Diffuse Solar" channel is actually recording albedo (upwelling radiation).
- Free Inactive Patent Search
Software[edit | edit source]
- Open Source Psychology Software
- The Comprehensive R Archive Network - R is ‘GNU S’, a freely available language and environment for statistical computing and graphics which provides a wide variety of statistical and graphical techniques: linear and nonlinear modelling, statistical tests, time series analysis, classification, clustering, etc.
- TFM (Traction Force Microscopy) - Open-source software for mechanobiology community from the Han Lab
- Astrophysics Source Code Library (ASCL) open repository. Housed at MTU and located online at http://ascl.net/, the ASCL now lists over 1000 codes and promotes greater research transparency. ASCL is indexed by ADS, making participating astrophysics codes easier to locate and cite.
Hardware[edit | edit source]
- Michigan Tech Open Source Hardware Enterprise -- A student organization dedicated to the development and availability of open source hardware.
Outreach[edit | edit source]
- The Physics Department sponsored a Research Experience for Teachers, which allowed the author(s) to partner with scientists and post-secondary students working in the Michigan Tech group of the larger HAWC (High-Altitude Water Cherenkov Gamma-Ray Observatory) collaboration on gamma-ray astrophysics.
