Day 284 Tasks – Process Control Mathwork Meeting with other Universities

Posted on October 9, 2020 ·

It’s an off day for me as Friday emerged. But that did not stop us from having this meeting to discuss the realization of preparing and launching a real industry problem to be presented in the Process Control class, not only in UTM, but USM and UMP.

The Zoom meeting which commenced at 9.30am sharp require only 30 minutes and we know what we need to do. It was short, sweet and precise because we already had one or two previous meetings and all the attendees knew the idea of the project.

Day 120 Task – Finalized New Revised Undergraduate Research Topic

Posted on April 29, 2020 ·

Originally the students and me, we have agreed on experimental type research topic and I can say the 4 of them have already their research proposal 60-80% complete. Unfortunately, since the university is not opened to public, and we cannot go to work and the students are all at their hometown, we are urged to change the research topic to a non experimental ones. I let my students to figure out or to come out with their own topic. Unfortunately, they have no idea and it ended up I gave them the research topic, as can see below:

Introduction to Matlab for Engineering Students

Posted on December 14, 2014 ·

Matlab is a very important and powerful software. It is very useful for various application such as thermodynamic modelling, solving simultaneous equations, genetic algorithm, optimization and so much more. To study Matlab, several books are available. If you are interested, you can get the book written by David Houcque from Northwestern University. Following is a snapshot from the book:

1.1 Introduction
  .
The tutorials are independent of the rest of the document. The primarily objective is to help you learn quickly the fi rst steps. The emphasis here is \learning by doing”. Therefore, the best way to learn is by trying it yourself. Working through the examples will give you a feel for the way that MATLAB operates. In this  introduction we will describe how MATLABhandles simple numerical expressions and mathematical formulas. The name MATLAB stands for MATrix LABoratory. MATLAB was written originally to provide easy access to matrix software developed by the LINPACK (linear system package) and EISPACK (Eigen system package) projects.
  .
MATLAB [1] is a high-performance language for technical computing. It integrates computation, visualization, and programming environment. Furthermore, MATLAB is a modern programming language environment: it has sophisticated data structures, contains built-in editing and debugging tools, and supports
object-oriented programming. These factors make MATLAB an excellent tool for teaching and research.
