Eligibility:
In order to be eligible for a first cycle course the applicant needs to fulfil the general and specific entry requirements of the programme(s) that has the course included in the study programme.
Course specific prerequisites
To give students with no previous experience of Matlab sufficient skills to independently solve programming problems in courses at masters level in the Mechanical Engineering field.
Aim
BSc degree in Mechanical Engineering field or the same prerequisites as the Master's programme the student attends.
Learning outcomes (after completion of the course the student should be able to)
- Use Matlab as a tool to solve and numerically analyze engineering problems in subsequent courses.
- Develop own programs from problem descriptions.
- Interpret and extend existing Matlab programs.
- Learn more by actively using Matlab in other situations.
Content
Variables, scalar, vectors and matrices in MATLAB. Predefined variables and functions. Characters and strings. Scripts and function files. Programming: Program development, algorithms, abstraction, pseudo code, conditional statement, loops, logical and relation operators, debugging, program structure, program comments, efficiency, read from and write to file, solution of linear systems of equations, plotting, visualization, numerical and symbolic math.
Organisation
Lectures and computer classes.
Literature
No formal literature, but a few suggested readings will be given.
Examination
A individual hand-in comprising a set of problems is given a Pass or Fail grade.
