title: Survey of Linux Based Free Software Tools for Electrical and Computer Engineering
abstract: &lt;p&gt;Undergraduate program in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is a four years curriculum where students work on a number of software to complete their coursework. These tools are accessible to students in university where students spend several hours to complete their assignments, a process not doable under COVID-19 global lockdown.
