         <mat-option *ngFor="let course of courses" [value]="course.courseId">
          {{course.courseCode}}

Answer 1

You can set the width of mat-select by adding the below css to the main styles.css file.

.mat-form-field-infix{
    width: 80px !important;
}

Change 80px as per your requirement.

There is a typo in your template, it needs to be panelClass and not panelclass:

<mat-select panelClass="my-panel" placeholder="Select Course"(selectionChange)="selectCourse($event,courses)" disableOptionCentering>

And as per the documentation here, the ViewEncapsulation on your component has to be set to None for this to work. It is mentioned in the comment of the example where the panelClass is being used:

  // Encapsulation has to be disabled in order for the
  // component style to apply to the select panel.

Here is a working stackblitz that has your style applied to the options.
