Arduino Engineering Kit
Learn important engineering principles while programming Arduino projects with MATLAB and Simulink
Bring MATLAB®, Simulink®, and Arduino® to the engineering classroom with the Arduino Engineering Kit. You will learn about controls, system modeling, image processing, robotics, and other important engineering concepts while programming fun, interactive Arduino projects. These include:
A self-balancing motorcycle that maneuvers itself on varying terrain and remains upright using a flywheel for balance
A mobile rover that navigates between reference points and moves objects with its forklift
A drawing robot that takes a reference drawing and duplicates it on a whiteboard
The kit includes an Arduino board, custom designed shields, and all the other components necessary for building the projects. It also includes access to online learning materials that introduce MATLAB and Simulink and guide you through the process of programming each project, teaching important engineering concepts along the way.
Instructors can incorporate the projects in their courses and extend or customize the learning materials to suit their needs. Students gain hands-on experience using MATLAB and Simulink for system modeling, embedded algorithm development, and more.
For Makers who want to incorporate more engineering into their Arduino projects, this kit provides engaging reference examples that help build foundational knowledge.

This video series shows the steps needed to implement the drawing robot that ships with the Arduino Engineering Kit.
How to Buy
You can buy the Arduino Engineering Kit from the Arduino Store. (Note: The kit is not currently available in Japan.)
MATLAB and Simulink Licensing
The Arduino Engineering Kit includes a 1-year individual user license of MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, and ten additional add-on products* used in the projects. This license is for educational use only, not for government, research, commercial, or other organizational use.
If you have an existing MATLAB license, you can use that as long as you have the required products. If your school has an active campus license, it should meet these criteria.
If the included license is not sufficient for your intended use** and you do not have an existing license, contact MathWorks to discuss licensing options.
* Add-on products: Control System Toolbox™, Curve Fitting Toolbox™, DSP System Toolbox™, Image Processing Toolbox™, Instrument Control Toolbox™, Optimization Toolbox™, Signal Processing Toolbox™, Simscape™, Simscape Multibody™, and Symbolic Math Toolbox™.
** The included license will not be sufficient for situations where a single kit will be shared among multiple students and/or a kit will be used for longer than 1 year.
