Campus wide access of MATLAB in 60 plus institutes

The MathWorks has reported that more than 60 academic institutions implemented campus-wide access to MATLAB and Simulink tools in 2009.

Imperial College London, Keio University (Japan), Swinburne University of Technology (Australia), and University of Arkansas are among the universities who implemented campus-wide licenses in 2009.

"In today's international economy, providing top-quality engineering education and developing future engineers are global issues," said Maureen Maher, manager of education marketing at The MathWorks. "Universities need to take advantage of every opportunity to train students on the tools used throughout major companies and industries. When used at all levels of university curricula, in both the classroom and the laboratory, MathWorks tools help faculty equip students with the experience needed to gain a competitive edge in the engineering job market upon graduation."
