Course Overview

Electric Engineering is one of the best course studies to be a part of and it is one that has a definite position in both present and future, offering stable career opportunities for a long time to come. A certificate of this course from a university as prestigious as the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Colorado System is guaranteed to make many doors and windows open through.

The Equivalent Circuit Cell Model Modulation programme by Coursera has been brought to the candidates with excellent content materials and real world based projects for an intermediate level. It teaches the values, properties, and simulation of each of the components of a lithium Ion cell and hones these skills to perfection.

Not only that, the experience gained here along with the course studied in such great detail will put the candidates at the top bar for Electronic Engineers and give them an early and the very important head start in the competition of today.

What you will learn

Knowledge of electronics
  • Candidates will be able to tell the specifics of any equivalent circuit model blindfolded.
  • They would learn all about lab tests and how they can determine values from simple lab results.
  • They would become able to compute a cell's Coulombic Efficiency with lab data.
  • They will be able to simulate battery packs for cases of cell variation to predict their actions.

Who it is for


Application Details

The candidates who are interested in the course have to go through the following steps in order to retain admission into the programme

Step 1: Visit the course page. https://www.coursera.org/learn/equivalent-circuit-cell-model-simulation

Step 2: After that, they will be required to register themselves on the website.

Step 3: Once they are registered, candidates will be asked some details about their education and experiences. They can also choose to skip it.

Step 4: After that, they will have the option to choose whether they want the full course with the ability to earn a certificate or just the content materials for free.

Step 5: If the candidates chose to pay, they will be directed to a bank details page but they will not be charged for a week first as candidates would be on their free trial.

Step 6: If the candidates chose the audited version, they will have to fill in another form and wait up to two days to see whether they were selected for this version or not.
