Abstract :
Without guidance, our undergraduates had to explore and learn MATLAB from the beginning by their own. Therefore, in order to continuously improve our electronic engineering undergraduate program, we formally introduce MATLAB to them as a part of the syllabus in our Advance Laboratory course. One survey has been carried out at the beginning of the laboratory, and another one at the end of the laboratory session. The outcome from these two surveys show that the designed syllabus successfully increase both skill and confident level of our students in solving complex engineering problem using MATLAB programming.
