AI-assisted MATLAB Programming with ChatGPT

Vanderbilt develops ChatGPT use around the tasks of a MATLAB programmer. Prompting leads into tutoring, generation and debugging, giving the course a language-specific focus. It is a continuation for learners who can already inspect and run basic MATLAB code.

What you will learn

• Write a programming-focused prompt for MATLAB.
• Use an AI explanation to investigate a code question.
• Test and debug generated MATLAB behavior.

Who this suits

Intermediate learners with basic MATLAB programming knowledge.

Before you enroll

MATLAB knowledge is explicitly required. Check MATLAB access and ChatGPT feature availability, and verify numerical results rather than treating plausible code as correct.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Generate a short numerical routine for a known problem. Compare its output with a manually checked case and test an input outside the expected range.
