Introduction to MATLAB Scripting for Automobile Engineering

Learn in detail MATLAB Scripting for Automobile Engineering

What you'll learn
- Use the MATLAB interface: write scripts, run code, use variables, and navigate the environment
- Manipulate vectors, matrices and arrays; perform indexing, arithmetic, and matrix operations
- Write conditional statements (if, else) and loops (for, while) to build logic and automate tasks
- Read, write, and plot data (CSV, MAT files), generate graphs and visualize vehicle data
- Apply MATLAB to automotive problems: compute fuel efficiency, braking distance, battery state-of-charge, analyze drive cycles
- Automate repetitive tasks and process large datasets for real automotive engineering use

Requirements
- Be comfortable with basic math (algebra, functions)
- Be willing to learn programming (no prior coding experience needed)
- Have access to MATLAB software (student licence or trial)
- Be patient and practice with examples

Description
Today in the automobile industry, everything depends on data, testing, and computer models. From vehicle movement and drive cycles to battery use and fault checking, engineers use strong tools to study systems and make better designs. One such popular tool isMATLAB.

This course will help you learnMATLAB scripting from the very beginning, with focus on automobile examples. You don’t need any past knowledge of MATLAB or coding—only interest and patience to learn step by step.

We will first learn basics: how to use MATLAB like a calculator, how to write small scripts, and how to work with data. Slowly we will move to real topics like checking drive cycles, finding fuel efficiency, calculating braking distance, and tracking battery charge. By the end, you will not only know MATLAB coding but also how to use it for solving real automobile problems.

What You Will Learn

Clear idea of MATLAB screen and scripting.

Confidence to work with data, do calculations, and make plots.

Link between coding and real automobile tasks.

Practice with small projects based on real industry problems.

This course is not about just remembering commands. It is about thinking like an engineer who uses MATLAB as a tool to check, calculate, and design.

Who this course is for:
- Automobile engineering students who want hands-on skills in MATLAB
- Engineers working in vehicle systems who want to use scripting
- Researchers who want to process vehicle data and run simulations
- Anyone curious to apply coding to real automotive problems
