From MATLAB Scripts to Complete Programs

Course Overview

This MATLAB training course teaches attendees how to create MATLAB programs composed of separate functional modules, advancing beyond simplistic scripts often used by MATLAB beginners. Students also learn programming design principles, as well as debugging and unit-testing for improved program reliability.

Key Learning Areas

Transition from script-centric code to a program-centric one
Apply good design principles to their code
Understand various data-passing mechanisms between program components
Use MATLAB timers for periodic or scheduled code
Leverage MATLAB’s built-in debugger to detect and resolve bugs
Use MATLAB’s built-in unit-testing framework to improve program reliability
