Matlab Tutorial

The tutorial is offered every semester jointly by IMR, IFW, IDS, and IMES. Its goal is to teach fundamental knowledge of Matlab/Simulink. The tutorial is conducted in the form of practical exercises in the faculty's CIP pool and consists of five sessions and a final certification. Additionally, extra in-person sessions are offered during which students can practice independently with supervision. To receive a certificate of participation, students must attend at least four out of the five sessions, submit the required homework assignments, and successfully complete the final certification.

• Introduction
• Programming
• Measurement Data Processing
• Multibody Systems and Vibrations
• Fundamentals of Control Engineering

The target group is students in the main phase of their studies or nearing the end of their bachelor's program. Due to the limited number of available computer workstations, the number of participants is restricted.

The tutorial is organized by the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering for the degree programs it offers. Therefore, only students enrolled in the following programs are eligible to participate:

For your information: If the tutorial is taken during the bachelor's program, it can also be credited later in the master's program. This does not apply to the Industrial Engineering degree programs (B.Sc. / M.Sc.).

A script accompanying the tutorial is offered, which registered participants can download via Stud.IP.

• Ort:
  • Das Tutorium findet in einem CIP-Pool statt. Die Infos dazu werden im Kurs auf Studip bekannt gegeben.

• Dates:
  • The 5 mandatory lectures usually take place on Mondays.
  • To pass, attendance at 4 of the 5 lectures is required.
  • A supervised voluntary additional exercise session usually takes place on Thursdays.
    • During these additional sessions, questions about homework or lecture content that could not be clarified during the mandatory lectures can be addressed.
  • The tutorial concludes with a compulsory final certification. This exam tests the lecture content through a long-term task.
    • The final certification is a 90-minute exam held on computers in the CIP pool.
• Location:
  • The tutorial takes place in a CIP pool. Information about the location will be provided in the course on Stud.IP.

Registration for the Matlab tutorial takes place by enrolling in the course via Stud.IP.

Due to the high demand for the tutorial, it was usually fully booked shortly after registration opened. Therefore, we have decided to allocate the 130 available spots by lottery. After the registration deadline, the places will be randomly assigned among all registered students. Only students from the aforementioned degree programs are eligible to participate. Students who are not eligible will be removed from the course. Please make sure to specify your degree program/major in your profile settings.

Registration outside the registration period via email or other means is not possible!

Recommended prerequisites

For the "Programming" section, basic knowledge equivalent to that covered in the Information Technology practical course is required. For the "Fundamentals of Control Engineering" section, knowledge from the "Control Engineering" lecture is needed. Additionally, knowledge from the "Multibody Systems" lecture is recommended.
