They mustthen design the track and the aesthetics of the roller coaster cart. Then, they must determine howto position and orient their roller coaster on the track using the homogenous transformationsdiscussed in class and by considering the geometry of the problem.

solvingengineering problems. Students therefore often do not reinforce their programming skills and losea potentially valuable tool. Furthermore, incoming first-year students lack math and engineeringproblem solving skills [1]. This presents a challenge in teaching programming. It is thereforeimportant that the programming projects consist of problems that the students can relate to andidentify with. Also, the required math and engineering principles need to be presented in anelementary and clear way. This requires starting out with elementary problems and subsequentlyincreasing their complexity. MATLAB has enough programming constructs to introduceprogramming in an introductory course and also features a host of advanced application-specificfunctions. It
