MathWorks Korea Officially Sponsors Incheon National University MATLAB Cody Challenge to Assess Undergraduate MATLAB Proficiency
Published2016.06.17 15:36MathWorks (kr.mathworks.com) announced that it officially sponsored the "Incheon National University MATLAB Cody Challenge."
The Incheon National University MATLAB Cody Challenge, held on June 11, was the first such event in Korea to assess students' MATLAB proficiency through Cody Coursework, an online evaluation system developed by MathWorks.
Since 2014, Incheon National University has established a campus license agreement with MathWorks, allowing professors and students to freely use MATLAB for coursework and research purposes across all departments and locations on campus that require complex mathematical computations.
Through this, undergraduate students at Incheon National University have acquired necessary numerical analysis theories and methods, worked on examples using computers to develop the ability to obtain actual numerical solutions, and have also improved their technical skills necessary for engineering practice, competency in using cutting-edge engineering tools, mathematical knowledge, basic science, and ability to apply engineering theory.
The competition, hosted by Incheon National University's College of Information Technology, attracted approximately 100 participants in total. The university selected 1 grand prize winner, 2 gold award recipients, 5 silver award recipients, and 30 encouragement award recipients to verify students' MATLAB proficiency. Kwon Il-woo, the grand prize winner from the Department of Information and Communication Engineering, stated, "This competition seemed to be an opportunity to verify my understanding of MATLAB and application skills that I have learned at the university so far.
MATLAB, which is widely used globally in engineering, science, and applied mathematics fields, I want to study and research harder going forward to enhance competitiveness in that field," he said. Incheon National University plans to hold the challenge regularly every year going forward to encourage student MATLAB usage.
Cody Coursework is an online MATLAB assessment system that presents MATLAB programming assignments and automatically evaluates results submitted by students. Professors develop problems that allow MATLAB programming according to templates within the program, then enter the email addresses of target students for assignment completion and send invitations. Students click a link in the invitation, log in to the MathWorks website, write and submit answers to the problems, and their grades are automatically calculated by comparison with pre-entered answer keys. Assignment submitters can subsequently download result reports and check more detailed information such as whether answers match for each student's assignment.
Through Cody Coursework's automatic evaluation system, schools can reduce the time and workforce needed for assignment evaluation, and professors can focus on more important areas such as teaching or mentoring students. Additionally, students receive feedback based on grading criteria immediately upon solving problems, further enhancing MATLAB learning effectiveness. Currently, over 5,000 universities worldwide, including Virginia Tech, are utilizing Cody Coursework, and within Korea, plans are underway to promote Cody Coursework adoption primarily at approximately 30 universities that have established campus license agreements with MathWorks. Detailed information on Cody Coursework is available on the MathWorks website (http://kr.mathworks.com/academia/cody-coursework/?s_tid=acport_codyc_ep_cta1).
Jong-min Lee, CEO of MathWorks Korea, stated, "MathWorks' Cody Coursework is an online assessment system developed to enable students learning MATLAB to verify their MATLAB proficiency anytime and anywhere and further enhance learning effectiveness. In the future, we hope that more domestic universities will adopt MathWorks' Cody Coursework to encourage MATLAB usage, which will contribute not only to improving students' individual computational skills but also to enhancing overall problem-solving abilities and academic advancement."
