 \emph{Free and Open source Software in Science \& Engineering Education}. 
\end{center}

\vspace{-.1in}

The goal of this project is to enable the teachers and students of Science and Engineering in India to use open
source software tools for all their computational needs, thereby improving the quality of instruction and learning. 
We are focusing on Scilab and Python in the area of Scientific Computation.

{\bf Where are we?}

\vspace{-.1in}
The project is based at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay
({\bf IIT-B}).  

{\bf Who funds us?}

\vspace{-.1in} 

It is funded by the {\bf MHRD} as a part of the \emph{National
  Mission on Education through Information and Communication
  Technology} ({\bf NME-ICT}), with the thrust area being `Adaptation and
deployment of open source simulation packages equivalent to MATLAB,
ORCAD etc.'

{\bf What do we do?}
\begin{list2}
\item Design courses to teach the use of FOSS tools.
\item Create content for these courses ---  written material,
  spoken tutorials, lectures. 
\item Conduct workshops to spread the adoption of these tools
\item Conduct conferences to popularize these tools in India
\item Organize sprints to generate relevant material 
\item Solve curricular exercises and problems using FOSS tools
\end{list2}

{\bf What can we do for you?}
\begin{list2}
\item Conduct a workshop in your college
\item Send you customized GNU/Linux distributions with all the tools
  installed  
\item Send you written and audio/visual material
\item Help you start using FOSS tools in your curriculum
\end{list2}

{\bf Hiring}\\*

{\bf Why Python}

\begin{list2}
\item Easy to learn
\item Can be coded in Procedural and Object Oriented way
\item Portable and cross-platform
\item Good for Scientific computing but not confined to it. Full fledged programming language
\item SAGE, numpy, scipy and matplotlib make it a complete Open Source alternative to MATLAB, Mathematica, Magma and Maple
\end{list2}

{\bf Applications of Python}\\

\begin{list2}
\item Numeric and Symbolic computation
\item Exploration and Visualization
\item High performance
\item Parallel computing
\item User interfaces, Web
\item Designing games
\end{list2}

{\bf Salient features of our Workshops}

\begin{list2}
\item Recipe based approach designed for complete beginners
\item High quality material taught by experts in the domain
\item Large variety of real world examples, exercises and tests
\item Get started with using Python for scientific purposes right away
\item Participation certificate endorsed by IIT-B
\item Free of cost
\end{list2}
