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