CSE 4200 - Engineering Applications of MATLAB

3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits

Course Description
This course focuses on the knowledge and skills necessary to development MATLAB app have graphical user interfaces (GUIs), particularly those that involve advanced modeling, data acquired from embedded development platforms (such as Arduino, Adafruit Feather, and STMicroelectronics Nucleo boards) and/or the internet. This course covers advanced MATLAB topics starting with cell array, structs and table data types. In continues to cover object-oriented programming in MATLAB, advanced function creation and use (including callback functions), and MATLAB timers and random streams. MATLAB App Designer GUI program development and documentation is covered in some detail as is the packaging of MATLAB apps for distribution including via MATLAB’s Web App Server. Serial communications and ASCII and Unicode text handling is covered as is the use of MATLAB’s Hardware Support Packages for supported embedded boards. Some class time is reserved for topics of particular interest to the instructor and students. These topics will vary.

A major grade component in this course will involve student-initiated term projects. These projects must be approved by the course instructor and students are encouraged to work on them with one or two partners. Projects may be and often are related to students’ capstone design projects. This course is intended for students who have completed a semester programming course covering MATLAB, two courses covering some other modern language or similar familiarity with MATLAB or programming based on experience. This is not an introductory course. (prereq: CSC 1310 or other procedural programming with consent of instructor; junior standing) (quarter system prereq: BE 2200 or other procedural programming with consent of instructor; junior standing)

Course Learning Outcomes
