Advanced level: Optimization Using Karmarkar Function, Digital Signal Processing, Control systems, Discrete systems, Calling User Defined Functions in Xcos, and Simulating a PID controller using Xcos.
(b) Useful Scilab content developed by FOSSEE: A major problem with open source software is the lack of documentation. A solution to this problem is the Textbook Companion (TBC). A Scilab TBC is a collection of Scilab code for all solved examples of standard textbooks. The FOSSEE team has coordinated the creation of Scilab TBC for 600 books in science and engineering, all branches, with Scilab code for about 75,000 examples. Such a large collection is not available for any other software, including commercial ones. Students and faculty from various parts of the country have created this collection. FOSSEE provides a handsome honorarium to any one who creates TBC.
One may use the Scilab TBC (1) to understand the steps of examples (2) to do what if studies by changing parameters (3) to locate the syntax for a command and (4) to locate all examples that use a particular command, and so on. Scilab TBC are available at https://scilab.in/Completed_Books, absolutely free of cost. Scilab TBC is also hosted on the cloud.
The FOSSEE Team also helps colleges migrate their labs to Scilab. This allows colleges that cannot afford Matlab to run their labs with Scilab. Codes of migrated labs are available at https://scilab.in/lab_migration/completed_labs.The FOSSEE Team has also developed a few useful toolboxes, available at https://scilab.in/fossee-scilab-toolbox.
We invite talented people to join us in improving these toolboxes and to develop new toolboxes. We have also created a cloud version of Xcos and 130 Xcos examples that can run on this cloud. Depending on the time available, one can try out all of the above.

Apart from the TBCs, another activity under eSim is the Circuit Simulation Project. Students, faculty and practitioners of electrical and electronics and allied fields can rebuild existing circuit design and simulations using eSim, through the Circuit Simulation project. The contributors are awarded certificate and honorarium. Currently, we have more than 50 simulations available for download and use.
