Programa especializado: Algorithms for Battery Management Systems

• What is the refund policy?

  If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.

• Can I just enroll in a single course?

  Yes! To get started, click the course card that interests you and enroll. You can enroll and complete the course to earn a shareable certificate, or you can audit it to view the course materials for free. When you subscribe to a course that is part of a Specialization, you’re automatically subscribed to the full Specialization. Visit your learner dashboard to track your progress.

• Is financial aid available?

  Yes, Coursera provides financial aid to learners who cannot afford the fee. Apply for it by clicking on the Financial Aid link beneath the "Enroll" button on the left. You'll be prompted to complete an application and will be notified if you are approved. You'll need to complete this step for each course in the Specialization, including the Capstone Project. Learn more.

• Can I take the course for free?

  When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free. If you cannot afford the fee, you can apply for financial aid.

• Is this course really 100% online? Do I need to attend any classes in person?

  This course is completely online, so there’s no need to show up to a classroom in person. You can access your lectures, readings and assignments anytime and anywhere via the web or your mobile device.

• How long does it take to complete the Specialization?

  The standard version of this specialization is 20 weeks in duration. The honors track requires an additional 4 weeks of study.

• What background knowledge is necessary?

  This is a graduate-level specialization that assumes that learners already hold a technical undergraduate degree: a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering or a Bachelor's degree in a closely related engineering discipline plus undergraduate-level competency in the following areas: Math (differential and integral calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations), Science (calculus-based physics and general chemistry), and Engineering (linear circuits, electronics, and linear systems)

• Do I need to take the courses in a specific order?

  The courses are designed to be taken in order, from Course 1 through Course 5. Course 1 gives a broad overview, background concepts, and context for the others; Course 2 is a strong prerequisite for the remaining courses since it describes the mathematical and programming frameworks that will be used; Course 3 includes topics in random variables that are important for Course 4. Course 5 is the only exception, and may be taken any time after completing Course 2.

• Will I earn university credit for completing the Specialization?

  No.

• What will I be able to do upon completing the Specialization?

  After completing the specialization, you will be able to: use laboratory data to create mathematical models of battery cells, and use these models to implement state-of-charge, state-of-health, available power (state-of-function), available energy, and balancing algorithms.
