Modern engineering teams must design complex electrified systems, combining power electronics, electric motors, and batteries, while meeting performance, efficiency, and reliability requirements.
In this Professional Certificate, you’ll build job-ready skills in modeling, simulation, and model-based design to analyze and develop electrified systems using workflows adopted across leading automotive, consumer electronics, industrial automation, and energy companies.
You’ll begin by understanding how electrified systems are designed, then build dynamic models in Simulink and physical models in Simscape. As you progress, you’ll design and simulate key components, including power converters, electric motors, and battery systems, and integrate them into system-level models.
By the end, you’ll be able to build and simulate complete electrified systems, analyze performance across operating conditions, and design and evaluate real-world engineering systems. Enroll to start building these skills and applying them to your own engineering projects.
Applied Learning Project
You’ll apply your skills through hands-on projects using MATLAB and Simulink, including:
Modeling the dynamics of an inverted pendulum to understand system stability and control behavior
Building a physical model of a reciprocating saw that monitors temperature to prevent motor overheating
Selecting and implementing a motor and control strategy to maintain constant speed for a go-kart
Designing a battery system to meet the performance requirements of multiple power tools
Modeling and simulating power electronics to convert and regulate energy from wall outlets
Combining mechanical and electrical domains to build and analyze system-level models of real-world devices
