Clarkson University Brings Consistency to Engineering Curriculum by Standardizing on MathWorks Tools     
Description: In order to unify the freshman curriculum across all engineering departments, Clarkson University has made the decision to implement MathWorks tools as the standard software environment in the course ES100: Introduction to Engineering Use of the Computer. By standardizing on MathWorks tools and instituting a common freshman course, Clarkson University is able to create a consistent experience for first year engineers, as well as prepare them for upper-level classes. By using MathWorks tools as well as attending a lab component, students can better determine which direction in engineering they wish to pursue, whether it be a more hands-on or analytical approach.
Target audience: Introductory undergraduate (1st or 2nd year)
Academic institution: Clarkson University
Materials available: Course outline/syllabus
Products: MATLAB,Simulink,Data Acquisition Toolbox,Real-Time Workshop,Signal Processing Blockset,Signal Processing Toolbox

Modeling and Simulation of Natural and Engineered Systems   
Description: The objective of this course is to introduce students to the mathematics and modeling tools necessary to analyze and simulate natural and engineered systems. The course includes three broad areas of modeling and analysis: that of stationary processes, linear dynamic systems and neural networks. Topics include modeling time series with ARIMA models, applications of artificial neural networks, building state space models for dynamic systems, and performing sensitivity and stability analyses.
Course material created by Professor Judith Cardell.
Target audience: Advanced undergraduate (3rd or 4th year)
Institution: Smith College
