In the University of Hertfordshire we use MATLAB in the mathematics curriculum for teaching engineering students. A University-funded teaching and learning initiative has allowed us to develop a set of web-based workshops. These materials have been written for first and second year engineering students. However, they have also been used successfully with mathematics, physics and astronomy students. We describe the resources and show how the workshops are embedded in our teaching.
