Workshop Report on “MATLAB Programming for Engineers”

The Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering Department in association with DBEATS organized a two day workshop for the students of Second Year Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, titled, “MATLAB Programming for Engineers” on 8^th July 2017 and 9^th September 2017. Workshop was conducted by Prof. Deron Ray Rodrigues and Prof. Yeshudas A. Muttu.

On the first day, students were introduced to MATLAB programming environment and the four frames of MATLAB window. Students were then acquainted with the various toolboxes of MATLAB and real time applications of MATLAB. This was followed by introduction of the basic commands, built-in constants and functions,  writing simple script file, decision making, use of if statements, switch case, while loop, for loop, and nested loops. Various data types were introduced too. Students were familiarized with operations on vectors, matrix, arrays and special arrays. In the afternoon session; students were given hands on training in MATLAB Programming.

On the second day, students were introduced to plotting of graphs, bar charts, making plots more informative, drawing multiple functions on same graph, use of subplot and linspace functions. The session also provided the students, knowledge about generation of signals in MATLAB, audio processing and image processing on MATLAB. The entire session was very interactive and the students were demonstrated with various programs related to signal processing.

Through this workshop the students were able to explore the impact of MATLAB in the industry and Academics.
