Internship – 3-part course series

This specialization is designed for learners with little or no programming experience, and is a way to transition them to the ability to create MATLAB programs that solve practical problems in engineering and science. The emphasis is on general computer programming, but MATLAB’s unique capabilities for engineering and scientific computation are recognized and discussed in detail.

Topics presented

  • Basic programming concepts in the first course
  • Advanced techniques like recursion
  • Program effectiveness
  • Object-oriented programming
  • Graphical User Interfaces in the Second Course
  • Data and image analysis
  • Data visualization
  • Machine Learning in the Third Course

Applied Learning Project

There are two projects in the specialization:

  • First Project: The final project of the second course. It involves creating an object-oriented application with a graphical user interface that visualizes COVID-19-related data from different countries around the world.
  • The second project: part of the third course and deals with image processing.
