Model-Based Development In Automotive With Matlab & Simulink

A practical introduction to Model-Based Design with Simulink for real-world automotive projects

What you'll learn

Basics of Model-Based Design (MBD). How it is applied in the automotive industry for system modeling, simulation, and co

Navigating the Simulink Environment. How to use the Simulink interface, build simple models using common blocks, and simulate system behavior step by step

Creating and Managing Subsystems. How to structure models using Subsystems, including Enable and Triggered Subsystems, to improve readability and functionality.

Signal Routing and Logical Operations. Students will work with essential blocks like Switch, Multiport Switch, Logical Operators, and Relational Operators to m

Requirements

Access to MATLAB/Simulink. Learners need access to a computer with MATLAB and Simulink installed. A student or trial license is sufficient for the course exercises.

Interest in Automotive. Since the course focuses on practical examples from the automotive industry, it is ideal for students or junior engineers interested in this field.

Description

Simulink for Automotive BeginnersThe course I wish I had when I started as a Model-Based DeveloperThis isn’t just another Simulink tutorial.This course simulates the experience of working on a real automotive project — from requirements to model implementation and testing. Every section is built to reflect what happens in the industry.You won’t just learn how blocks work — you’ll learn how engineers think, solve problems, and deliver real software features using Model-Based Design.It’s the course I created based on everything I wished I had known at the beginning of my career in automotive. In this course, you will:Build and simulate clear, structured Simulink modelsLearn how to connect models to real requirementsUnderstand how your work fits into the full automotive development flowPractice solving problems the way they’re done in real engineering teamsGain the confidence to contribute to real projects from day one Who is this for?Students and junior engineers new to the automotive industryAnyone looking to understand what Model-Based Design looks like in practiceNo prior Simulink experience required — just curiosity and a willingness to learnIf you're serious about joining the automotive world and want more than just theory, this is the course for you.
