The MathWorks, Inc. is the sole developer, provider, and source of the MATLAB and Simulink suite of software. This software platform is the industry-standard for engineering programs around the country and including at Shippensburg University. MathWorks does not use resellers and is the sole distributor of this software. Currently, Shippensburg University’s math, science, and engineering programs use this software. No other existing statistical software packages have a direct replacement for Simulink and the associated toolboxes included with MATLAB. As these modeling and simulation tools are considered the industry standard, ABET, the engineering accrediting body, expects all engineering students to have experience with MATLAB and its various add-on modules.
