The MathWorks Reports 60-Plus Universities Implemented Campus-Wide Access To MATLAB And Simulink Tools In 2009
The MathWorks announced that more than 60 academic institutions implemented campus-wide licenses in 2009, bringing the power of MATLAB and Simulink to more than one million students and faculty worldwide. By standardizing on the same tools used by engineers and scientists across industries, universities enable students and faculty to use MATLAB and Simulink in labs and classrooms and on laptops, accelerating the pace of learning and research and preparing aspiring engineers for future careers. Imperial College London, Keio University (Japan), Swinburne University of Technology (Australia), and University of Arkansas are among the universities who implemented campus-wide licenses in 2009.
“In today’s international economy, providing top-quality engineering education and developing future engineers are global issues,” said Maureen Maher, manager of education marketing at The MathWorks. “Universities need to take advantage of every opportunity to train students on the tools used throughout major companies and industries. When used at all levels of university curricula, in both the classroom and the laboratory, MathWorks tools help faculty equip students with the experience needed to gain a competitive edge in the engineering job market upon graduation.”
