Objective: The objective of this project is to simplify Electrical and Electronic Engineering–related calculations by developing a user-friendly MATLAB GUI application capable of performing advanced engineering computations efficiently and accurately.
Tool used: MATLAB
Figure: Graphical User Interface of MATLAB based application for complex engineering calculation.
Abstract: This project presents the design and development of a MATLAB GUI–based application aimed at simplifying a wide range of Electrical and Electronic Engineering calculations. The application provides an intuitive, user-friendly interface that allows users to perform complex mathematical and engineering operations efficiently, eliminating the need for manual calculations or multiple software tools.
The system supports arithmetic operations for both real and complex numbers, equation solving for up to five variables, and series computations. It includes comprehensive matrix operations for 2×2 and 3×3 matrices. The application also offers robust graphical functionalities, such as single-variable function plotting, linear and polynomial regression, and linear and polynomial interpolation directly from Excel files.
In addition, the GUI incorporates key calculus features, including differentiation, integration, area calculation, and the solution of differential equations. Several numerical root-finding methods—such as Bisection, False Position, Newton-Raphson, and Secant—are integrated for analytical flexibility. The application also includes number system conversion between binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal formats.
Overall, this project delivers a versatile and powerful engineering tool that brings multiple advanced computational features into a single MATLAB GUI platform, making engineering calculations faster, easier, and more accessible.
