Compatible with R2024a and later releases._\n\n# Information\n\nThis curriculum module contains interactive [MATLAB® live scripts](https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab/live-editor.html) introducing fundamental concepts of modern engineering using Arduino Hardware. The whole module is designed to explore these concepts using hardware using Arduino. You will explore the signals, data analysis, sensing, control and Internet of Things (IoT).\n\n\n## Background\n\nYou can use these live scripts as demonstrations in lectures, class activities, or interactive assignments outside class. This module covers the concepts of signals, control, and technical writing. It also includes examples of the Internet of Things and physical modeling.\n\n\nThe instructions inside the live scripts will guide you through the exercises and activities. Get started with each live script by running it one section at a time. To stop running the script or a section midway (for example, when an animation is in progress), use the \u003cimg src=\"Images/image_0.png\" width=\"19\" alt=\"image_0.png\"\u003e Stop button in the **RUN** section of the **Live Editor** tab in the MATLAB Toolstrip.\n\n## Contact Us\n\nSolutions are available upon instructor request. Contact the [MathWorks teaching resources team](mailto:onlineteaching@mathworks.com) if you would like to request solutions, provide feedback, or if you have a question.\n\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nThese scripts assume no prior knowledge of hardware programming and wiring. There is minimal MATLAB \u0026 Simulink knowledge required to complete the module. It is highly encouraged to follow online self\\-paced training to complete most of the activities:\n\n-  [MATLAB Onramp](https://matlabacademy.mathworks.com/details/matlab-onramp/gettingstarted) \n-  [Simulink Onramp](https://matlabacademy.mathworks.com/details/simulink-onramp/simulink) \n-  [Stateflow Onramp](https://matlabacademy.mathworks.com/details/stateflow-onramp/stateflow) \n\n## Getting Started\n\nDownload this repository. Open MATLAB, navigate to the folder containing these scripts, and double\\-click on [intro\\-to\\-engineering.prj](https://matlab.mathworks.com/open/github/v1?repo=MathWorks-Teaching-Resources/Intro-To-Engineering\u0026project=intro-to-engineering.prj\u0026file=README.mlx). It will add the appropriate files to your MATLAB path and open an app that asks you where you would like to start. \n\n\nTo clone this repository, you can copy and paste the following command directly into your MATLAB Command Window:\n\n\u003cpre\u003e\ngitclone(\"https://github.com/MathWorks-Teaching-Resources/Intro-To-Engineering.git\")\n\u003c/pre\u003e\n\nEnsure you have all the required products (listed below) installed. If you need to include a product, add it using the Add\\-On Explorer.
