ABOUT THE COURSE  
MATLAB® is a high-performance language for technical computing. It integrates computation, visualization, and programming in an easy-to-use environment where problems and solutions are expressed in familiar mathematical notation. MATLAB® features a family of application-specific solutions called toolboxes. Areas in which toolboxes are available include signal processing, control systems, neural networks, fuzzy logic, simulation, and many others. Some of the application areas of the MATLAB and SIMULINK include electromechanical systems and products, control system design/analysis, modeling, simulation and optimization, chemical and industrial process control, signal processing and filtering, test equipment/instrumentation, digital servo systems, Motor and motion control, system identification/parameter estimation and speech Processing.
The course will provide a hands-on learning experience in the basic operation and utilization of MATLAB and Simulink to solve many technical computing problems in a fraction of the time it would take to write a program in scalar non-interactive language such as C or FORTRAN.
Apart from MATLAB and SIMULINK, the course will also give a solid foundation for developing sophisticated applications for data acquisition & instrumentation for process control using LABVIEW. The course will emphasize on how Virtual Instrumentation technology can be useful in the Automation in Iron and Steel Industry, Metallurgical Processes, Process Automation, Mining as well as maintenance and monitoring of engines and machines.
