1. Internship title: Development of FOSSEE Optimization Toolbox for Scilab

   Internship description: This internship requires you to develop FOSSEE Optimization Toolbox (FOT) for Scilab. A Scilab toolbox is a collection of programs to extend the capability of Scilab. FOT already exists and there are many users (internationally) already using it for solving optimization problems. The toolbox offers several optimization routines including, but not limited to, linear optimization, integer linear optimization, unconstrained optimization, bounded optimization and constrained optimization. This internship shall focus on improving it further. Anyone who has a basic understanding of Scilab and C/C++ programming with some domain knowledge of Operations Research can apply. The work will involve writing Scilab and C/C++ code, compilation using open-source compilers, writing help document and test cases. Contributing towards newer examples to solve optimization problems may also be expected.

Internship title: Extending eSim on Cloud (Full-stack Development)

Internship description: We have built two web-based simulators, one for electronic circuit Simulation (eSim), and another for Arduino simulations with various sensors and components. This is a free and web-based open-source platform in the electronics domain. Most of them that exist are either expensive or proprietary (closed source) in nature.

We started this work during COVID-19 pandemic. During this time (May and June 2020), we had a totally online mode of communication and development. Six students from different institutes across India participated remotely and contributed towards this project. They were mostly 2nd year or 3rd year in their Computer Science BTech programme. This work was done through the FOSSEE Summer Fellowship at IIT Bombay. The source code for which is hosted at https://github.com/frg-fossee/eSim-Cloud. In this Internship, we propose to extend its existing functionality.

Internship Title: GUI Development for OpenFOAM, a computational fluid dynamics package

Internship Description: OpenFOAM is a tool used to solve fluid flow and heat transfer problems with applicability in Aerospace, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering fields. It is a C++ based coding tool and does not possess a good user interface. Currently, we at FOSSEE, have used a combination of open-source software Python scripts and Blender, to build a prototype GUI. We would like to build on this and extend the capability of this GUI.

Currently, the GUI is built so that it is able to solve 1 fluid-based problem (a tutorial). We would like to extend the GUI's capability to act as the front end through which users can solve 10 more problems that we have in our repository. Previously coded modules will be made available to enable the extension of this GUI.

The intern will work largely in the Python and Blender environments under the guidance of the Python and the OpenFOAM FOSSEE teams. Proficiency in Python is important, and familiarity with Blender is preferred.
