GE 4200 - Advanced MATLAB Programming

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course builds upon students’ previous exposure to MATLAB and embedded systems. After completing this course, students will be able to produce professional quality GUI and embedded applications using MATLAB and Simulink. In this course, students learn to design, implement, test, and document PC and phone apps having graphical user interfaces (GUIs). Students will also learn to create MATLAB and Simulink programs that interact with hardware, communicate with other devices via serial ports and by other means, and can run outside the MATLAB environment (i.e., be compiled). In particular, serial communications with and generating code that run on embedded development systems, such as Arduino and Nucleo boards, will be covered. (prereq: sophomore standing, BE 2200 , EE 1910 , GE 3901 or ME 190  or equivalent) 
Course Learning Outcomes
