Are there cert courses/MOOCs about Electromagnetism in 2017?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for certificate courses or MOOCs focused on electromagnetism available in 2017. The user, a Computer Science and Engineering bachelor student in Europe, seeks to enhance their physics knowledge to improve their academic prospects. They note that while platforms like edX.org offer archived courses, and MIT OpenCourseWare provides valuable resources, neither currently offers certificates. The user emphasizes the importance of a certificate for academic documentation rather than for its intrinsic value.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of electromagnetism concepts
  • Familiarity with online learning platforms such as edX and MIT OpenCourseWare
  • Knowledge of academic transcript requirements
  • Interest in pursuing further education in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research available MOOCs on platforms like Coursera or FutureLearn for electromagnetism courses with certificates
  • Explore edX.org for any upcoming courses in electromagnetism that may offer certification
  • Investigate alternative resources or textbooks that provide comprehensive coverage of electromagnetism
  • Look into university extension programs that may offer online courses in physics with certification options
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for undergraduate students in physics or engineering, educators seeking additional resources, and anyone interested in enhancing their knowledge of electromagnetism through structured courses.

Hello everyone,

I'm currently doing a CSE bachelor (europe) in which I'll focus on physics. Now, I'd like to also put in some extra work to strengthen my focus on physics. This will put me ahead of others but it might also give me the chance of doing a masters in physics.

Anyway, currently there isn't a course that fits my current knowledge/plans in general so I though I'll just start with electromagnetism on my own. Of course, there are a lot of good ressources online (I'm always open for recommendations!) but I'm wondering if there are courses for which I might even get a certificate.
Something like an electromagnetism MOOC in 2017.

The reason I'd prefere a course with a certificate isn't that I think the certificate is very important but it just allows me to put something on my academic transcript, in case I won't be able to attend the lecture on my university. (e.g. I might not have time when it is - it usually is only once a year). So the certificate is just a nice to have.

So does anyone know such a course in 2017? If not, I'm also open to any recommendation on courses/ressources about electromagnetism.

Thanks for reading

From what I can see right now, edX.org only has archived courses in this subject. MIT Opencourseware has some pretty good online courses, but there are no certificates, as far as I am aware.
