About MATLAB
Yes, we will use MATLAB a lot
Using UMBC Resources
All campus computers have access to MATLAB
You can establish a virtual terminal and access it
from anywhere
But, there are only a limited number of licenses to
share
Having your own
I own MATLAB + 1 toolbox for my business:
$3500 + $500/year
You can own a fully functional student version for
$99 (includes MATLAB and 10 toolboxes); or,
A student version for $49 + $10 per toolbox
It is useful for almost every engineering course!

What does an engineer do?

What does an engineer do?
Apply math and science:
Engineers are mathematicians
and scientists
Design solutions
Engineers are problem solvers
Manage projects
Almost all engineers need
rudimentary project management
skills
Research
Development
Design
Production & Test
Construction
Operations
Sales & Marketing
Consulting
Teaching
some need additional project

management training

Why are you here?

Good at Math/Science?
Like Math/Science?
Engineering experience in HS (PLTW)
Family member is an engineer
There are good jobs for engineers
There are good jobs
but they go to good engineering students
not to mediocre engineering students.
Cs get degrees But not engineering jobs
Yes, there are good jobs!

You have to be careful about job statistics
but multiple surveys agree that engineering jobs
pay very well
These are average or median salaries for good
engineering students
Median = 50th percentile
