Numerical Differentiation for Chemical Engineers part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop October 2021:Activities
Roman Voronov, New Jersey Institute of Technology
In this activity students learn to apply appropriate numerical differentation formulas to non-uniformly spaced data. The concept is applied to a chemical engineering problem where the goal is to measure how the ...
Simple MATLAB Grader Exercises part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2020:Activities
Don Baker, McGill University
This activity is the first set of Matlab exercises given in a remotely delivered, introductory geochemistry class taught to 1st-semester, 1st-year majors in Earth and Planetary Sciences. ir assignments. ...
Exploring the Variational Principle part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2017:Activities
Kristi Closser, California State University-Fresno
The purpose of this assignment is to explore the variational principle as it is applied in quantum chemistry to compute the energies of multi-electron atoms. Specifically we explore the helium-like atoms (e.g. H{ , ...
Using MATLAB to Study Plant Health and Herbivory for Small-scale Research Experiments part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2019:Activities
Catherine Buell, Fitchburg State University
This lab manual supports undergraduate students and researchers in using non-destructive, cost-effective techniques to measure a variety of plant phenotypes including resistance to insect herbivory, pigmentation, ...
Superposition and the Stern-Gerlach Experiment part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2018:Activities
Michael Groves, California State University-Fullerton
This activity is designed to explore the idea of superposition of basis functions used to describe quantum system using the Stern-Gerlach experiment and light as examples.
Chemical Process Modeling part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop October 2022:Activities
, ,
This is a chemical engineering project where students are asked to perform linear algebra, fit data and write an ODE function.
Sensitivity of Parameters in Chaotic Systems part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2019:Activities
Namyong Lee, Minnesota State University-Mankato
In this computer lab activity, students explore and discuss the nature of the sensitivity of parameters in a chaotic system. As a result, they understand the challenges of numerical simulation and/or parameters ...
Real world problem in general education and translate it to a logistical sequential algorithm aligned with Chemistry part of Teaching Computation with MATLAB:MATLAB Workshop 2024:Activities
Abu Gafar Hossion, University of Bridgeport
Students work in Chemistry laboratories in both lower and upper classes without knowing how actually the basic concept hands-on-activity correlates with theory, which puts students behind and struggling for the ...
