Brian Rivera, St Olaf College
This scaffolded laboratory activity introduces students with minimal programming experience to Event-Related Potential (ERP) analysis using MATLAB. Students progress from interactive visual exploration of neural ...

Dimensional Analysis and Flow Visualization Using MATLAB part of Past Workshops:MATLAB Workshop 2025:Activities
Kianoosh Yousefi, The University of Texas at Dallas
In this MATLAB-based activity, students develop two general computational modules, one for automated dimensional analysis using the Buckingham π theorem, and another for streamline and pathline visualization for ...

Stress Map part of Past Workshops:MATLAB Workshop 2024:Activities
James Conder, Southern Illinois University-Carbondale
Use earthquakes from the global CMT catalog to look at crustal stresses in a given region of the Earth. Students will download earthquake data from an online catalog and make 2 tectonic maps. One map is of the ...

Measuring voting districts and distributions part of Past Workshops:MATLAB Workshop 2024:Activities
Eugene Mahmoud, Mt San Antonio College
This project-based activity allows students to use MATLAB to analyze voting district boundaries and their relationship to social and environmental justice. Students recreate geographic borders, calculate centroids, ...

Bouncing Ball Explorer part of Past Workshops:MATLAB Workshop October 2022:Activities
Duncan Carlsmith, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Exploration of the sound of a bouncing ball dropped on a hard surface, the sound recorded with a mobile phone or laptop microphone, is the basis for an accessible experiment in elementary mechanics. For ...

Example Bisection Method Problem in MATLAB Grader part of Past Workshops:MATLAB Workshop October 2021:Activities
Roche de Guzman, Hofstra University
Here's an example of a text book problem in Numerical Methods that was converted to a MATLAB Grader assignment to assess students in a more automated and interactive way. Other problems can be modeled and ...

Virtual Pendulum Experiments & Mechanical Oscillations part of Past Workshops:MATLAB Workshop October 2021:Activities
Jeremy Riousset, Florida Institute of Technology
The pendulum motion is one of the first encounters with the concept of a harmonic oscillator. This activity seeks to complement a traditional, rigorous, theoretical approach with a rigorous numerical model. It ...
