[LucidChart|https://www.lucidchart.com/] an an online diagram editor that is pretty good. Students and teachers can signup for an account and get free access to the top-level subscription which allows you to collaborate on creating diagrams, where multiple people are allowed to edit it at once. This tool could be used to quickly draw some simple circuit diagrams, draw a UML diagram of some programming project, create flow charts for planning a presentation or paper, and much more.
Doing Science
There are many tools available that make our jobs as scientists easier. Here is a collection of software, analysis techniques, and more, that you may find useful.
- Linux is a free and open source operating system that is very common in academic and research settings.
- LaTeX is THE standard for typesetting technical papers. Once you learn how to use it, you will never want to write a paper in Word again.
- Gnuplot is a simple, yet powerful, command-line plotting program. You can use it to quickly plot data during analysis, or to create publication quality figures.
- Data Analysis: this page contains various information related to analyzing data, including error analysis.
Student/Class Projects
- The Phys 100, Introduction to Engineering Science, class has been launching high altitude weather balloons as a class project since Fall of 2011. See their project page here.
