MATLAB is one of the leading technical computing environments for engineers, scientists, mathematicians, and financial analysts. Unlike compiled programming languages, MATLAB allows you to quickly develop code and solve problems without the overhead required by other languages. It can be applied to virtually any problem requiring technical computation. The language, apps, and built-in functions enable you to quickly explore multiple approaches to arrive at a solution. MATLAB also lets you take your ideas from research to production by deploying your code to standalone applications or onto embedded devices.

The MATLAB class will provide the skills needed to work with MATLAB interactively and as a programming language. You will be able to formulate intermediate and some advanced engineering projects into MATLAB and solve them using programming skills.

On completion you will be able to:

• Navigate and evaluate MATLAB
• Perform technical computing with MATLAB
• Use a design methodology to solve technical problems
• Work with data within MATLAB
  • Scalars, vectors, matrices, strings and structures
  • File input/output including interfacing with Excel
• Present visual results via graphics and plotting
• Understand MATLAB's Graphical User Interfaces (GUI's)

CEUs are awarded based on the number of scheduled contact hours.
