Korshub Take
Battery-management systems sit at the center of the EV and energy-storage boom, and this CU Boulder course — also creditable toward their Master's in Electrical Engineering — goes deep on the lithium-ion cell fundamentals that actually govern how those systems are designed.
Who it's for
Learners with some electrical engineering background who want a rigorous, intermediate-level foundation before tackling the rest of a battery-systems specialization — not a casual EV-curiosity course.
Core topics
- Lithium-ion cell terminology, chemistry, and function
- Battery-management-system requirements and high-voltage electrical safety
- Thermal management, control systems, and electronic components
- Failure analysis and failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA)
Over 72,000 learners have taken it, a notable figure for a course this technical — a sign of just how much interest battery engineering is drawing right now.
About this course
This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5730, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.
This course will provide you with a firm foundation in lithium-ion cell terminology and function and in battery-management-system requirements as needed by the remainder of the specialization. After completing this course, you will be able to:
- List the major functions provided by a battery-management system and state their purpose
- Match battery terminology
Skills you'll gain: Electrical Safety, Electrical Systems, High Voltage, Safety Standards, Electronic Components, Control Systems, Thermal Management, Electronics, Failure Analysis, Energy and Utilities, Electrical Engineering, Failure Mode And Effects Analysis, Manufacturing Processes, Materials science, Chemistry.
