Introduction to MATLAB for Engineering Students – Level I

This book provides an accessible and structured introduction to MATLAB for students beginning their journey in engineering and technical computing. Designed specifically for those with no prior experience, this book emphasizes a hands-on approach that guides readers through fundamental topics such as the MATLAB interface, variable manipulation, arithmetic operations, matrix handling, basic plotting, and solving linear systems. Each chapter is organized as a practical lab session, encouraging learning-by-doing and supported by carefully designed exercises at the end of every lesson. Rather than serving as a comprehensive manual, this book focuses on the core tools and skills that engineering students need to succeed in coursework and problem-solving. Through clear explanations and real-world examples, it lays a solid foundation for further exploration in numerical methods, programming, and applied engineering analysis using MATLAB.
