This part of the course is in two elements. Firstly, the students will be introduced 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 system. Examples of these included: traffic modelling and planetary motion. Supporting notes are provided.
Aims:
Computing:
To understand how to develop a computer model of an engineering system using the Matlab programming package. To increase their ability and confidence in the development of programs to model physical systems.
Computing:
By the end of the course the student should be able to; Use loops and conditional statements, define functions, display computational results graphically using the Matlab programming package.
In addition students will be able to develop Matlab models for engineering systems.
Computing: MATLAB assessment (100%)
