Benefit: The student will learn how to apply his acquired knowledge to solve an engineering problem. This activity further enhances the student’s knowledge of the subject and problem solving skills. 3. Developing programming skills in MATLAB and LabVIEW- In this important phase of the project, the student with the help from his faculty mentor will learn how to utilize various programming tools and powerful features of these two premiere engineering programming
