Course Objectives The goal of this course is to teach fundamental computer programming skills required for developing applications with MATLAB. The students who complete this course will be able to develop programs that provide various kinds of multimedia stimuli, capture user inputs using various devices, and analyze experimental data. Using these skills, students will be able to create and execute various computer-based interactive applications.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • will be able to describe basic concepts about computer programming.
  • will be able to analyze the runtime behavior of computer programs.
  • will be able to design a planned interactive experience according to working principles and requirements of computer programs.
  • will be able to implement computer programs that include interactive experiences.
  • will be able to develop computer programs to analyze runtime logs.
Course Description Basics of computer programming, basics of Matlab programming environment, handling and plotting data, programming constructs, data structures, simple input and output, using multimedia content, timing and logging, development and debugging techniques, functions and modular programming, parsing and processing log files, developing experimental setups, analyzing experiment logs.
