GE 4200 - Advanced MATLAB Programming

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course builds upon students’ previous exposure to Matlab. After completing this course, students will be able to produce professional quality applications that solve real-world engineering problems using Matlab and to professionally document their work. In this course, students will learn to design, develop and test programs having graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Students will also learn to create sophisticated Matlab programs that interact with hardware, communicate with other devices via serial ports and by other means, can run outside the Matlab environment (i.e., be compiled) and call functions written in other modern computer languages. In particular, serial communications with embedded computer boards, such as the Arduino, will be covered. (prereq: sophomore standing, BE 2200 , GE 3901  or ME 190 )
