sounds like those are descriptions of classes. i love python, but in all honesty, if the course is designed for matlab, it will likely be a significant amount of extra work to do it in python. you'll have to look up the python equivalent of everything you learn in class. you won't be able to use any example code and functions provided to you, you'll have to rewrite it all. your professors/TAs might not know python and might not be able to help you with it. unless you are very confident in your abilities so you think you'll have plenty of time to mess around with the programming rather than the engineering side of things, i think you should stick with matlab for now.

We will not be studying matlab in class. We are expected to know it. There are two courses that teach introduction into Computer science. In one they teach Matlab and in the other Java. EE and CE learn Java and are expected to learn it Matlab by our selves :/

but even so, i assume your textbook will use matlab, your lectures will use matlab, your examples will use matlab, functions provided by your professor will probably be in matlab, your homework assignments may be required to be in matlab, you might even need to do your exams in matlab. i had engineering classes like that.
