  2. MATLAB Program Design in Real Life Complex manufacturing processes require careful logic mapping to determine what actions should be taken and when to produce a product. Often in automotive manufacturing, the control of robots is carefully planned and timed with flowcharts at each stage of the welding process.

  3. Today's Learning Objectives • After today’s class, students will be able to: • Explain the significance of the planning stage in computer problem solving. • Solve complex MATLAB problems involving all previously used concepts. • Construct flow charts to develop code.

  4. Algorithms • Algorithms are a step by step plan • Consider every step that’s necessary to complete a task or solve a problem • Useful tools for problem solving (DR. PIE!) • They will make programming easier and less time consuming 

  5. Algorithm Exercise • You will work with your classmates to write a step-by-step procedure to solve a problem or complete a task. • You will need to make many assumptions • Consider every small step or detail

  6. Algorithm Example The Task: Have a person fill a bottle with stones. • Start by listing assumptions • A bottle is present • Stones are present • … • …

  7. Algorithm Example: Assumptions • Assumptions • The bottle is present • The stones are present • There are enough stones to fill a bottle • The bottle is empty/not full • Some/all stones will fit through the opening • …?

  8. Algorithm Example: The Steps With your team, write your algorithm (~10 steps): • Set the bottle near stones • Make sure bottle is upright • … • … • Hint, think like a machine!

  9. Algorithm Example • Trade algorithms with another team • Follow their directions EXACTLY • See how well it works!

  10. Algorithm Example • Set bottle upright near stones • Determine if any stones are left • Pick up one stone • Determine if stone fits • Put stone in bottle • Determine if bottle is full

  11. Flowchart Example • Flowcharts help us visualize our algorithm/program • DR. PIE: Represent • It’s good practice to make a flowchart before writing any program. It will save you lots of time!

  12. Flowchart Example

  13. Important Takeaways • Programs require logic and information • Flowcharts map this flow and set the foundation for an efficient program • Machines don’t know anything unless they are told exactly what’s needed • Think like a machine when programming! • Ex: Machines don’t know a bottle is upright.

  14. What’s Next? • Review today’s Quiz #11 • Open the in-class activity from the EEIC website and we will go through it together. • Then, start working on MAT-11 homework.
