As technology advances at an unprecedented pace, engineers are challenged to design complex systems with greater efficiency and accuracy. This course teaches you skills in system modeling, simulation, and analysis using Simulink®, a modeling and simulation environment used by the world's top engineering companies to design, simulate, and test systems before moving to hardware.

The course provides practical, project-based learning that mirrors real-world challenges. You will gain hands-on experience in creating dynamic models, simulating real-world systems, and optimizing performance, making you a valuable asset to any engineering team. Key skills you'll develop include system design, control systems, and simulation analysis. Throughout the course, you will use Simulink, a block diagram environment used to design systems with multidomain models, simulate before moving to hardware, and deploy without writing code. You will be provided with a free Simulink license to complete your work in the course. Whether you're an aspiring engineer or a seasoned professional, you'll acquire skills that are highly sought after in engineering fields such as automotive, aerospace, robotics, and more.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. A free license is available to learners enrolled in the course. You must have a computer capable of running Simulink. You can view the system requirements here.

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Certificate, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
