Overview
Provided hands-on instruction to support engineering learners in coding, computational modeling and simulation, focusing on practical tool fluency and systematic debugging.
Tools taught
- MATLAB (data analysis, visualization, basic modeling)
- Simulink (block-diagram modeling and simulation)
- HSPICE / PSPICE (circuit simulation and verification)
Teaching approach
- Live demonstration → guided practice → independent problem-solving with feedback
- Debugging as a skill: inputs → assumptions → model → outputs → verification → feedback
- Emphasis on interpretation: what the model means and how to validate results
