electrical & computer engineering
northeastern university
the bernard m. gordon center for subsurface sensing and imaging systems (gordon-censsis) promotes a philosophy of putting modern technology into the hands of students as early as possible in their education, and using this technology to solve real, open-ended problems. the high-tech tools and toys laboratory is a discovery-based educational laboratory that creates an exciting problem-solving environment where generic engineering skills are learned. matlab is used to interface to several of the state-of-the-art hardware components in the lab.
learning outcomes
- obtain real-world engineering experience by combining matlab with lab hardware to solve complex problems
- learn how working in a single, efficient software environment saves valuable time
