Overview
What essential/industry-ready skills enable students to transition from classrooms to tackling real-world engineering challenges. This workshop introduces the mindset and the practical application skills modern engineers rely on - systems thinking, rapid experimentation, and the ability to model and simulate designs before production. Whether you’re an educator preparing students for industry, a student developing project-ready skills, or a researcher looking to prototype ideas quickly, the principles of Model-Based Design (MBD) apply directly to your work.
Through live demonstrations and hands-on exercises, MathWorks engineers will show how Simulink®—the platform for Model-Based Design helps engineers design, test, and iterate rapidly. You’ll also learn how to start building industry-ready skills today to create scalable, maintainable, and high-performance systems.
Highlights
- Understand why Model-Based Design is widely used across industry and how it accelerates development and time to market.
- Explore applications of MBD in electric vehicles, UAVs, autonomous systems, renewable energy, and wireless networks
- Gain a hands-on introduction to Simulink as the industry-standard platform for modeling, simulation, and system-level design
- Access curated learning paths and hands-on resources to build your Simulink foundations for teaching, student projects, and research
