Curriculum

Your instructor
Dr. Yoon (PhD, Mechanical Engineering) is a college educator with 10 years of teaching experience and a researcher who uses MATLAB to solve challenging engineering problems. His work spans data analysis, algorithm development, and modeling/simulation for mechanical and thermal-fluid systems, giving him a practical perspective that students can immediately apply.
In “MATLAB Essentials: A Beginner’s Guide for Engineering Students,” Dr. Yoon’s approach is straightforward: explain clearly, practice often, and connect concept to applications. He designs step-by-step lessons, short hands-on exercises, and simple projects that build confidence while reinforcing core skills like array operations, plotting, and basic numerical methods.
Above all, he fosters a supportive, engaging learning environment. Students can expect patient guidance, constructive feedback, and an emphasis on writing clean, readable code they can use in labs, capstone projects, and early-stage research.
