Starting from the basics of MATLAB, the book then shifts its focus toward the latest technologies in engineering: signal processing, image processing, machine learning, automation, working with Simulink units and system design, and finally to hardware integration, data preprocessing, and data visualization. Fundamental engineering principles and implementation-oriented examples using MATLAB code are introduced in each chapter to simulate real industrial situations.

Readers are provided with a set of directions on how to read, pre-process data, create scalable MATLAB programs, visualize engineering data, automate repetitive processes, and create mathematical models and simulation models. The book provides a good introduction to how machine learning techniques can be used in engineering applications. The book also covers advanced topics such as time-series analysis, image processing, workflow optimization, real-time system modeling, and interfacing with hardware using Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

The book is unique in focusing on problems, practical applications to the actual world, and scalability of engineering procedures compared to  syntax-focused MATLAB books. The book provides practical guidelines for students, researchers, engineers, and professionals who want to use MATLAB for applied engineering, academic study, industry control, and automation in today's engineering environment.
