Teaching Engineering Sciences with SCILAB
Exclusive webinar on September 25th: Scilab For Educators: Numerical Computation Meets Real-World Application
BUILDING TOMORROW’S ENGINEERS WITH ADVANCED MATHEMATICAL TOOLS
The industrial world is undergoing a profound transformation: digital technologies - AI, IoT, cloud, and simulation - are converging to redefine how we design, build, and manage systems. Over $600 billion was spent globally on digital transformation in manufacturing by 2023, reflecting just how strategic this shift has become1.
In this evolving landscape, effectively managing mathematical models and computations has become essential for delivering accurate, efficient, and optimized outcomes. In engineering, physics economy, and other technical fields, the ability to model, simulate, and analyze complex systems is now a foundational skill - and without the right tools, inefficiencies can significantly hinder progress.
Scilab for Education empowers your students to develop these high-demand capabilities with a robust, open-source platform for numerical computation. Offering a feature-rich environment for system modeling, optimization, signal processing, and control systems design, Scilab delivers functionality on par with leading commercial solutions - without the cost. Its visual modeling component, Xcos, enables intuitive, drag-and-drop simulation of dynamic systems, making it ideal for teaching and rapid prototyping.
Even more compelling, Scilab serves as a strong complement to integrated digital platforms like 3DEXPERIENCE, where mathematical modeling, system behavior analysis, and design validation are essential for connected product development.
Scilab is actively used in education, research, and industry across more than 100 countries, making it a trusted and globally recognized tool for computational learning.
