Unit description

This unit introduces students to programming and engineering experimentation with Matlab. Students develop skills in programming and understanding the application of instrumentation and design of experiments in engineering. Students engage in experimental activities and programming experiences through the analysis of practical engineering problems.

Unit content

1. Programming with Matlab
2. Introduction to Simulink and Simscape
3. Engineering experimentation and experimental design

Learning outcomes and graduate attributes

Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

On completion of this unit, students should be able to:

GA1: Intellectual rigour, GA2: Creativity, GA3: Ethical practice, GA4: Knowledge of a discipline, GA5: Lifelong learning, GA6: Communication and social skills, GA7: Cultural competence
