Title: Looking for Internship Guidance as a Beginner MATLAB/Simulink Learner
Hello everyone,
I’m a Computer Science undergraduate currently building a strong foundation in MATLAB and Simulink. I’m still at a beginner level, but I’m actively learning every day and can work confidently once I understand the concepts. Right now I’m focusing on MATLAB modeling, physics simulation, and basic control systems so that I can contribute effectively to my current project.
I’m part of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) team preparing for the Singapore AUV Challenge (SAUVC). My role is in physics simulation, controls, and navigation, and MATLAB/Simulink plays a major role in that pipeline. I enjoy physics and mathematics deeply, which makes learning modeling and simulation very exciting for me.
On the coding side, I practice competitive programming regularly—
• Codeforces rating: ~1200
• LeetCode rating: ~1500
So I'm comfortable with logic-building and problem solving. What I’m looking for:
I want to know how a beginner like me can start applying for internships related to MATLAB, Simulink, modeling, simulation, or any engineering team where MATLAB is widely used (including companies outside MathWorks).
I would really appreciate advice from the community on:
- What skills should I strengthen first?
- Which MATLAB/Simulink toolboxes are most important for beginners aiming toward simulation/control roles?
- What small projects or portfolio examples should I build to improve my profile?
- What is the best roadmap to eventually become a good candidate for internships in this area?
Any guidance, resources, or suggestions would be extremely helpful for me.
Thank you in advance to everyone who shares their experience!

Hey everyone,
I’m currently working with MATLAB R2025b and using the MQTT blocks from the Industrial Communication Toolbox inside Simulink. I’ve run into an issue that’s driving me a bit crazy, and I’m not sure if it’s a bug or if I’m missing something obvious.
Here’s what’s happening:
- I open the MQTT Configure block.
- I fill out all the required fields — Broker address, Port, Client ID, Username, and Password.
- When I click Test Connection, it says “Connection established successfully.” So far so good.
- Then I click Apply, close the dialog, set the topic name, and try to run the simulation.
- At this point, I get the following error:Caused by: Invalid value for 'ClientID', 'Username' or 'Password'.
- When I reopen the MQTT config block, I notice that the Password field is empty again — even though I definitely entered it before and the connection test worked earlier.
It seems like Simulink is somehow not saving the password after hitting Apply, which leads to the authentication error during simulation.
Has anyone else faced this? Is this a bug in R2025b, or do I need to configure something differently to make the password persist?
Would really appreciate any insights, workarounds, or confirmations from anyone who has used MQTT in Simulink recently.
Thanks in advance!
I recently published this blog post about resources to help people learn MATLAB https://blogs.mathworks.com/matlab/2025/09/11/learning-matlab-in-2025/
What are your favourite MATLAB learning resources?
Share your learning starting trouble experience of Matlab.. Looking forward for more answers..

I write The MATLAB Blog and have covered various enhancements to MATLAB's ODE capabilities over the last couple of years. Here are a few such posts
- The new solution framework for Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) in MATLAB R2023b
- Faster Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) solvers and Sensitivity Analysis of Parameters: Introducing SUNDIALS support in MATLAB
- Solving Higher-Order ODEs in MATLAB
- Function handles are faster in MATLAB R2023a (Faster function handles led to faster ode45 and friends)
- Understanding Tolerances in Ordinary Differential Equation Solvers
Everyone in this community has deeply engaged with all of these posts and given me lots of ideas for future enhancements which I've dutifully added to our internal enhancment request database.
Because I've asked for so much in this area, I was recently asked if there's anything else we should consider in the area of ODEs. Since all my best ideas come from all of you, I'm asking here....
So. If you could ask for new and improved functionality for solving ODEs with MATLAB, what would it be and (ideally) why?
Cheers,
Mike
Yesterday I had an urgent service call for MatLab tech support. The Mathworks technician on call, Ivy Ngyuen, helped fix the problem. She was very patient and I truly appreciate her efforts, which resolved the issue. Thank you.

Discuss!
I just noticed that MATLAB R2025b is available. I am a bit surprised, as I never got notification of the beta test for it.
This topic is for highlights and experiences with R2025b.
