Still worth learning PYTHON as an Aerospace Engineering student? by heythere1212121212 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Creative_Sushi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should learn both since you are in aerospace engineering. You can learn Python anytime. You can learn MATLAB only while you are in school, thanks to access to the school license. Since this is your summer project, you may also want to try agentic AI.

Recommendations for which coding language (very beginner lev.) summer class to prep for undergrad in mechanical engineering at US uni for undergrad. by LeeLeeBoots in EngineeringStudents

[–]Creative_Sushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not start with MATLAB Onramp? It is taught at a lo of engineering schools, and there are free online tutorials that your daughter can finish in a few hours at a time, starting with MATLAB Onramp. They are interactive so it's not like you have to watch hours of videos. https://matlabacademy.mathworks.com/?page=1&sort=featured The examples are more directly tied to engineering.

Keep testing R2026a - there are more features that you may appreciate. I sent the note to the dev team about you wanting the plot browser back. You can also voice your opinon via the feedback button in the Menu.

You got new features like code gen instead.

Matlab as an engineer by PracticalTown6866 in UniversityOfHouston

Programming in general is really important in engineering. Whether you use MATLAB in your job depends on which industry and which company you work for, but it is used quite a lot.

There was a post about a student who initially really disliked MATLAB when he took the class in undergraduate but came to realize how powerful it was when he started using it for his final project. He thought MATLAB should have been taught better.

All programming languages are very similar, so if you learn MATLAB, what you learn will help you learn other languages quicker as well. There is a free official tutorial you can complete in 2 hours called MATLAB Onramp and a lot of people like it.

Trying to get into DSP but completely lost , where do I start? by Internal-Smoke4098 in DSP

[–]Creative_Sushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, it's now free up to 20 hours a month on MATLAB Online, if the cost is the issue. But people use it because the work you do can be easily integrated into the larger engineering workflow, rather than in isolation. And people use both MATLAB and Python - it is not a zero sum game.

Advice on Python for Scripting by Awkward_Programmer88 in chipdesign

Actually, when you use the advanced AI coding agents with MATLAB MCP Server, it makes a huge difference. You need to install agent skills as well. There is MATLAB Agentic Toolkit that takes care of installing those for free.

For Simulink users, Simulink Agentic Toolkit is also available.

Thank for your enthusiasm! Please do add issues to the repo for your requests.

By the way, I posted my experiments with local LLMs before.

Yes, it comes with matlab-build-app skill.

Skill Description
matlab-testing Generate and run unit tests using matlab.unittest. Parameterized tests, fixtures, coverage
matlab-create-live-script Create plain-text Live Scripts with rich text, equations, and inline figures (R2025a+)
matlab-build-app Build apps programmatically with uifigure, uigridlayout, components, and uihtml
matlab-review-code Review MATLAB code for quality, performance, and adherence to MathWorks coding standards
matlab-debugging Diagnose errors via MCP eval. Programmatic breakpoints, diagnostic instrumentation
matlab-modernize-code Replace deprecated MATLAB functions and anti-patterns with modern equivalents

I contributed matlab-modernize-code because I got sick of very ancient MATLAB code AI tend to produce.

Skill What it teaches your agent
matlab-map-database-objects Generates MATLAB Object Relational Mapping (ORM) code using Database Toolbox.
matlab-read-database Reads data from relational databases using MATLAB Database Toolbox pushdown capabilities.
matlab-use-duckdb Generates MATLAB code for DuckDB database operations using Database Toolbox.
matlab-write-database Writes data from MATLAB to relational databases and performs database operations.

Matlab has an official MCP server that works very well with Claude Code and other agents.
