About MATLAB
Yes, we will use MATLAB a lot
Using UMBC Resources
All campus computers have access to MATLAB
You can establish a virtual terminal and access it
from anywhere
But, there are only a limited number of licenses to
share
Having your own
I own MATLAB + 1 toolbox for my business:
$3500 + $500/year
You can own a fully functional student version for
$99 (includes MATLAB and 10 toolboxes); or,
A student version for $49 + $10 per toolbox
It is useful for almost every engineering course!

The salaries are good because the subject matter is
difficult
Everyone cant do this!
Theres LOTS OF MATHand SCIENCE
and very detailed and complex (no pun) material
You will put in lots of work to earn these salaries,
both as a student and as a worker
