Looking to write electrical engineering related open software

Question

I apologize if this question is a little broad. Hopefully, your answers will help me narrow it down to more meaningful questions.

I'm experienced in software engineering and had a recent conversation with a friend who suggested that electrical engineering is very software-driven these days.

I'm trying to improve my understanding of the electrical engineering side of things and thought since I already know the software, a good way could be to write software or a library that's relevant for electrical engineers. Of course, I'd prefer to write something relevant to as many people as possible so it's not only training for me, but also useful to others. So I plan to write a library and open-source it for several researchers and academics to use.

For those who've worked with electrical engineers in the past or who are ee themselves, what do you suggest could be a useful software to have. I've experienced several languages mainly PHP, JAVA, C, C++, Actionscript, and a few others. Please suggest a project that you think would be useful to others and the language that would make the most sense for it.

Of course, if you have anything else in mind, don't hesitate to say it.

Answer 1

Here are some existing projects like:

• gEda: This site is all about the combination of GPL and EDA.

• qucs: Qucs stands for Quite Universal Circuit Simulator. So far Qucs is not yet completed, but it is already packed with features. 

• LTSpice: It is a free but very proficient & popular device/circuit simulation package (it also does schematic capture & has a waveform viewer). It's gonna be tough to outdo that one, but playing with it might give you some ideas.
