SansGUI Educational Grant Program
Thank you for your interest in our SansGUI Educational Grant Program.
We offer free SansGUI software and licenses to non-profit, degree-granting
educational institutions and exceptional high schools through course adoptions
or special projects. If you would like to investigate the feasibility of
using SansGUI in your educational curricula, you can download the software and
try it out first before applying for the grant. You can also obtain a
slide show, titled "Using SansGUI in Academia: Raising Software
Standards in Higher Scientific and Engineering Education", from the
links below:
The SansGUI Educational Grant Program consists of
the following categories:
Course Adoptions
Who May Apply
- Instructors in non-profit, degree granting educational institutions and
exceptional high schools (grades 9 through 12).
- The primary subject in the course is scientific or engineering modeling
and simulation using computers.
- Web presence: The course syllabus is accessible from the Internet or the
instructor's own web page has a clear identification to the course.
- The instructor will use SansGUI as an interactive learning environment in
the course for scientific or engineering explorations. The simulators
running in the SansGUI environment can be developed by the instructor or
others.
- Optionally, the instructor will require students to write scientific or
engineering simulation programs, or a portion of them, in conjunction with
Microsoft Visual C++ or Compaq Visual Fortran in the course.
The Grant
- The instructor will receive one copy of the latest (at the time of course
commencement) SansGUI Professional Edition software and documentation with a
perpetual Educational License.
- When programming is not required in the course, the students and teaching
assistant(s) will receive evaluation licenses of SansGUI Run-Time Edition
with the time limits to coincide with the term of the course.
- When programming is required in the course, i.e., students are required to
write programs in Microsoft Visual C++ or Compaq Visual Fortran, the
students and teaching assistant(s) will receive evaluation licenses of
SansGUI Professional Edition with the time limits to coincide with the
term of the course.
Details
- Students can download the SansGUI software and documentation directly from
ProtoDesign's web site or make copies from the instructor's SansGUI software
