Electrification is driving demand for engineers who understand batteries as complete systems, not just individual cells. This course was created to help connect battery science with practical modeling, simulation and system-level design. You'll follow the battery engineering journey from cell basics to a full electric vehicle battery pack. You’ll then apply what you've learned to integrate the pack into electric and hybrid vehicles.

Developed by Siemens Digital Industries Software and IFP School, the course combines videos from Siemens and IFPEN experts, hands-on labs in Simcenter™ Amesim™ software, and assessments to support your progress. By the end of the course, you'll be able to: • Analyze the physical, thermodynamic, and kinetic principles governing battery cell behavior and efficiency under real-world operating conditions. • Evaluate battery performance and thermal constraints using electro-thermal models and experimental test data, including aging, BMS behavior, and thermal runaway. • Design battery models tailored to specific industrial objectives (e.g., sizing, efficiency, safety) by selecting the most appropriate modeling approach. • Simulate the electro-thermal behavior of a battery using engineering software tools (Amesim) and calibrate model parameters based on real-world operation. • Justify battery pack design choices in response to system-level vehicle engineering requirements, such as range, durability, reliability, and safety. This course builds practical skills in battery engineering and system-level simulation for working professionals, early-career engineers, and engineering students. No prior battery expertise is required.
