If most CENG students were like myself in my senior year, you may be unfamiliar with how powerful Excel can be through the use of VBA (Visual Basic for Application) which is the name of Excel's coding language. When I was first introduced to this I remember exclaiming to myself "Excel has a coding language!?!?" and being pleasantly surprised at how useful it could be particularly in large  iterative calculations as well as for managing large data sets rather intuitively.

As a disclaimer, because we are all engineers it should be said that everything that I am about to show you can just as well be done in MATLAB and I encourage students to attempt the same exercises using MATLAB to gain familiarity, but I personally found this done more intuitively quickly in Excel. You can find brief video guides covering the same material in the written portions near the bottom of their section.
