The workshop was conducted by two enthusiastic researchers, Mr. Asir Intisar Khan and Mr. Tariqul Islam, who are currently serving as a Lecturer in the department of EEE, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). Mr. Md. Masoodur Rahman Khan, IEEE AUST Student Branch Counselor and Mrs. Kazi Khurshidi Haque Dia, Advisor of WIE AG, IEEE AUST Student Branch and Secretary, WIE, IEEE Bangladesh Section supervised the workshop with the assistance of Ms. Silvia Tasnim (mentor, IEEE AUST SB)), Ms. Sarah Nahar Chowdhury ( Newsletter editor, WIE AG, IEEE Bangladesh Section) and Ms. Maliha Noshin (Technical activity coordinator, WIE AG, IEEE Bangladesh Section) who are currently serving as lecturers at the department of EEE in Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology.

Simulink, a customized graphical editor for modeling and simulating dynamic systems is particularly essential for prospective engineers intending to work with physical systems. With a view to equip the students with the basics of Simulink, the workshop stretched from designing elementary logic functions, virtual inputs and outputs to physical environment as well as controllers and different tools required for fault analysis in case of power system protection. Students also learnt to integrate Simulink with MATLAB as data can be easily transferred between the programs incorporating MATLAB. The trainees were enthralled to visualize the resultant 3D animation of their simulated physical model. The instructors provided valuable suggestions to the aspirants by furnishing comprehensive information to those seeking command in Simulink.
