Engage Students Using Interactive Modeling and Simulation Tools
Tuesday, Oct 5, 2010
2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT / 18:00 GMT (Duration: 1 hour)
In this session we provide practical methods for incorporating interactive modeling and simulation in the classroom through Simulink, to enhance teaching of technical concepts. Through examples in signal processing and control systems, we explore how models can help to bridge the gap between theory and application, thus providing extra motivation for students.
Additionally, using interactive models in class can help to address different learning styles of students, allowing them to learn more actively, by bringing theory to life. We will explore the use of Simulink to teach system-level design concepts which enable students to see the big picture. Finally, we review resources that help you incorporate Simulink throughout a course.
PRESENTER:
Tzuliang Loh, Academic Training Engineer, MathWorks
Tzuliang focuses on developing and delivering training solutions for academic users. He has played a key role in developing a series of interactive video tutorials that teach students how to use MATLAB and Simulink. Tzuliang has a B.S.E. in mechanical engineering from the University of Michigan. He also has an M.S. in mechanical engineering from MIT, where he designed, fabricated, and characterized BioMEMS and microfluidic devices. His research included implementing live image processing for thermal characterization of a MEMS device in MATLAB.
