This unit introduces students to Matlab through the use of self-guide workbooks and extended exercises problems within a supported-learning environment. The basic concepts of programming in Matlab, including loops, conditional statements, matrix manipulation, function definition and plotting will be covered. This is followed by an extended individual Matlab-based project, during which the student will develop a computer model of an engineering problem. Supporting notes are provided.
Aims:
To understand how to develop a computer model of an engineering system using the Matlab programming package. To increase the student's ability and confidence in the development of programs to model physical systems.
By the end of the course the student should be able to:
The course will mainly be taught through self-study with supported learning. Learning material will be available on-line
Single coursework assessing all learning outcomes.
