Today my problem is Orcad.

UWM has Cadence OrCad. an awesome suite for Electrical Engineers everywhere. I want it too ! But there is one serious problem with UWM's Orcad seats.  Nobody knows how to use it. It was one of those "Hey this is great software used all over industry WE should have it on our computers!" But now it's there and it sitting .... Sitting.... Sitting and nobody is using it. So in an effort to boost what I consider to be an unacceptable grade Prof Kautzer has asked me to create a simple tutorial on it. It's hard and I am absolutely begging for resources. I have found a bit online but I really need a cheap book from which to figure out all things capable with this software because it really is cool and interesting to use but as the rule for most engineering software goes the more powerful it is the more difficult it is to use. There are millions of parts wires buses, connectors etc. in this software for the user it can be a bit overwhelming.

The brighter side is that two of my three classes are winding down as most of the project work is complete in one, I have to write a five to ten page paper for another. Then the focus is on our "eFeeder" for senior design. It will rock. Just you Wait!
