Workshop: Teaching Geoscience with MATLAB

MathWorks (makers of MATLAB®) and On the Cutting Edge are partnering to develop and deliver a workshop focused on creating the best-in-class curriculum materials for teaching quantitative research and computational skills to geoscience students. Participants will bring and share their successes using MATLAB in the undergraduate classroom and discuss best practices for the community. The materials and findings from the workshop will be shared publicly for use by educators worldwide.

The workshop offers an opportunity for the leading practitioners in the field to participate and share their materials and ideas for teaching geoscience computation with MATLAB.

This Teaching Geoscience with MATLAB workshop is designed to capture and develop best practices and curriculum components for using MATLAB to teach students critical computational skills required for data access, analysis, and insight generation in undergraduate Earth Science and related courses. MATLAB can be applied to solving problems and developing systems involving mathematical computation, data analytics and statistics, signal and image processing, geographical mapping, publishing code and commentary, and more in the scientific and engineering domains. As a participant, you will help build a collection of teaching activities that enable you and others to employ MATLAB for teaching geoscience in classrooms.
