Event Description

On 18th & 20th June 2019, IEEE EWU Student Branch organized a workshop on Basic MATLAB. 83 Students were divided into two batches and participated in two different sessions of this workshop. MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) is a multi-paradigm numerical computing environment and proprietary programming language developed by Math Works. MATLAB is a programming platform specifically designed for engineers and scientists. It is used widely in many academic research areas such as machine learning, signal processing, image processing, computer vision, communications, computational finance, control design, and robotics. ‘Dr. M. Ryyan Khan’- Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EEE) at EWU conducted the workshop. Junaedul Islam- the chair of IEEE EWU SB, was the chair of the event. In these two sessions, Dr. khan introduced the students to the basics of MATLAB. He showed various toolboxes of MATLAB and real-time applications of MATLAB. He then gave the participants a brief on the basic commands, built-in constants, and functions, writing simple script file, making a decision, use of if statements, switch case, while loop, for loop, and nested loops. Dr. khan also introduced the participants to Various data types of MATLAB. Dr. khan familiarized the students with operations on vectors, matrix, arrays. Students were also introduced to how to plot graphs, bar charts, making plots more informative, drawing multiple functions on the same graph, use of subplot and linspace functions. The sessions also provided the students, knowledge about the generation of signals in MATLAB. Both sessions were very interactive and the participants responded gleefully with the conductor. Dr. khan demonstrated the students with various programs related to signal processing. At the end of the sessions, Dr. Khan was awarded gifts by the chair of IEEE EWU SB as a sample of a token.
