Title

A Tutorial on MATLAB

Objectives

  1. To investigate how to start, exit, perform basic maneuver, and simple calculation inside MATLAB
  2. To familiarize ourselves with lab report writing and copying figures from MATLAB

Background / Review

Here, an explanation will be given on how you prepare your lab report.

Please use this template when preparing your lab report. Your lab report is limited to a maximum of 4 pages (excluding MATLAB codes). Try to write your report in a clear and concise manner. Only important points are to be included in the lab report.

Please DO NOT change the font and font size of this template. Also, DO NOT change the margins.

In your lab report, you should include sections as shown on this template: Title, Objectives, Background/Review, Methods, Results and Discussions, Conclusions, References (if any), Appendix (put your MATLAB codes here).

In the Background / Review section, you will describe briefly the background of the lab practical project that you are doing, especially you would like to explain why you would like to carry out the project and what is the importance of this project.

Methods

Explain how you carry out your project / experiment.

Since for this unit, all lab practical projects are computational exercises, you could explain the program here by providing the pseudo-code of your program. Otherwise, you could just describe how your program works.

DO NOT put your MATLAB code here. Instead, save your MATLAB code in another separate m-file and email to your lecturer together with your lab report document.

If you are writing any equation in your report, remember to number them. Similarly, all tables and figures, if any, must be numbered and captioned. For example,

,(1)

.(2)

Results and Discussions

Record your results here. These can be the outcomes of your m-file, figures, or numbers that obtained after your MATLAB computations. Remember to label and give caption to your figures or tables.

Just recording the results alone is trivial, what is more important is to make sense of the results.You MUST explain and discuss what your results meant. To do that, you could either interpret the meaning of the results, explaining if your results are reasonable, how do you bench mark your results, can you make comparison with other known results, etc.

Conclusions

Summarize your important results here. Explain if your results have met the objectives of your project or not. Also, you could also suggest is there any ways you could improve your project.

References

You should record down all reference materials that you have used to complete your lab practical project. The following is the example of the reference format.

Appendix

You are required to list down in your appendix the file names of your MATLAB codes that you are submitting. For example:

e.g. In this report, we attached the following MATLAB codes as appendix:

  1. practice.m
  2. animation.m
