Simulink for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) course in Aerospace Engineering
Simulink for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) course in Aerospace Engineering Department at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand “Not all students are great coders And I think it is quite difficult for students to be able to understand the flow of a code without spending a great deal of time looking at it and trying to understand how it works I believe Simulink bridges this gap and gives the students a better chance at understanding the flow of a program than simply writing a MATLAB script" Dr. Joshua Staubs International School of Engineering (ISE) Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University
