BE 2200 - MATLAB Programming for Engineers3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits Course Description The objective of this course is to familiarize students with the basics of computer programming and the use of MATLAB as a tool to solve problems in biomedical and biomolecular engineering. Each student is required to demonstrate proficiency in writing and documenting the testing of computer programs given a set of requirements. Concepts and tools specific to MATLAB are introduced, including the use of data and logical arrays, plotting and data visualization, and the use of built-in functions. General programming concepts and approaches, including data input/output, logical operations and selection, repetition, user-defined functions, and the use of advanced data types, are also introduced and reinforced through numerous in-class activities and laboratory projects. (prereq: none) Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Perform computations on scalars and multidimensional arrays from MATLAB command window
- Create professional-looking plots using MATLAB commands
- Use commands to retrieve data from the user or from input files into the workspace
- Use commands to output data and other information to data file or the command window with appropriate formatting
- Write MATLAB programs that require logical decision making involving un-nested and nested if and switch constructs
- Write MATLAB programs that perform required repetition involving un-nested and nested while and for loops
- Write MATLAB to perform computations and decisions on arrays by using logical arrays and vectorization
- Create MATLAB functions that perform required tasks based on specified data inputs and outputs
- Implement cell arrays and structure arrays in MATLAB code to manage complex data sets
- Predict the outcome of given MATLAB code with specified inputs
