Course Description
The objective is to provide the participants with a platform to learn MATLAB quickly and successfully. The course also intends to assist participants to save development time and working more efficiently using MATLAB tools. Therefore, the participants equipped with the knowledge of MATLAB will be able to address and solve real engineering & science issues.

Prerequisite:
Candidates must have experience with basic computer operations. This course is suitable for those without programming experience, although an exposure to programming languages or packages such as C++ or Excel is an advantage.
