MATLAB for chemical engineers – Online Learning Platform

About Course

This course considers how to use MATLAB for various applications. It is mainly going to focus on chemical engineering principles but the methods, codes and concepts can be applied across several fields.

Course Content

Introduction to MATLAB and working with scripts
Get familiar with the MATLAB interface and learn some basic functions as well as how to work with scripts in MATLAB

Introduction to MATLAB 1

16:44
Introduction to MATLAB 2

09:32
Quiz 1 (introduction to MATLAB)
Introduction to scripts and inputs to scripts

20:58
Quiz 2 (introduction to MATLAB)
Saving scripts and working with list dialogue boxes (listdlg)

29:30
Working with question dialogue boxes (questdlg)

24:03

02:33

Introduction to Arrays (Vectors and Matrices)
Now that we have gotten familiar with the MATLAB environment and some basic functions, let us move on to working with arrays.

Symbolic Operations
How do we work with symbols that are not variables with assigned values? This is where symbolic mathematics comes in. We can define functions and perform numerous operations on them using the things we will learn here.

Working with user-defined functions and continuing with scripts.
We want to apply all that we have learnt (with a few more things we will learn) to solve problems in scripts.

Polynomials and curve fitting
We discuss how to handle polynomials and take time to talk about curve fitting as well

Logical and Relational operations
Learn how to use various logical and relational operations in Matlab.

Plots
How to make plots is a very important aspect of engineering as they show the relations between variables and parameters used for study. With MATLAB, we can make several types of plots for any analyses we want to do.
