An Effect of Introductory Programming Education Using Simulink and Stateflow

Abstract

C language is an important programming language to learn in the engineering field. However, for beginner students of programming, many factors are difficult to learn. One reason is that they cannot visually check the middle of the programming process. In this paper, we propose an introductory programming education using Simulink and Stateflow for new students in the National College of Technology (KOSEN). Results of questionnaire survey and semester final examination demonstrated that the proposed method has a positive effect on introductory programming education.
