About Scilab : – Scilab is an open source scientific software package for numerical computations that provides a powerful open computing environment for engineering and scientific applications. Since 1994, Scilab has been distributed freely, along with the source code, via the Internet. It is currently used in educational and industrial environments around the world.
Scilab is a major component of the FOSSEE (Free and Open source Software for Science and Engineering Education) project. The goal of this project is to enable the students and faculty of Science and Engineering colleges/institutes/universities across India to use open source software tools for all their computational needs, thereby improving the quality of instruction and learning.
About the internship: – The project will involve a teacher of the student (from the same college) who has taught the subject for at least one or two years.
