Abstract

Octave and Scilab are Matlab-like free software for numerical computations: Octave is mostly compatible with Matlab; and Scilab can manipulate formulas including the Laplace variable $s$ and has many useful functions in the field of systems and control. This paper presents cases at the authors' department where Octave is used to teach Matlab-type programming and dynamical systems simulation in the senior course ``Simulation Engineering", and where Scilab and RootPro CAD Free are used, in the author's laboratory, to teach simulation techniques and drafting and design of apparatuses for control experiments, respectively.
