Teaching Computation with MATLAB (and GenAI): Educator Workshop

About the Event

May 12 - 14, 2025

Monday, May 12 (2-5pm)

Tuesday, May 13 (8:30am-5pm)

Wednesday, May 14 (8:30am-2pm)

For the first time, MSU is offering a Teaching Computation with MATLAB educator workshop on campus.

The primary outcome of the workshop is curriculum developed by you – the educator participants – that you can use in your courses. To help you determine the optimal curriculum, the workshop will cover the newest trends in STEM teaching – from flipped classrooms, to cloud tools, to online grading – with a particular focus on how MATLAB based courses can incorporate GenAI, or ChatGPT, as a teaching and learning tool. MathWorks staff and experienced educators will be on hand to share tools and experiences.

We’ll explore practical strategies for incorporating MATLAB teaching tools such as MATLAB Live Scripts, MATLAB Online, MATLAB GPT and MATLAB Onramp to improve student learning and course effectiveness. If you’re seeking innovative ways to complement your current teaching methods, this workshop provides actionable insights and resources tailored to your needs.
