One of the most important applications of AI in engineering is optimization. Optimization is almost needed everywhere in science and engineering. Compared with traditional mathematical optimization techniques, evolutionary computation, which is a branch of AI, is attracting much attention. After taking this course, students will be able to understand how evolutionary computation works and fluently use AI-based optimization techniques to solve engineering optimization problems via MATLAB. This course introduces fundamental concepts in optimization and the working principles of genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization in a comprehensive and understandable way. Case studies from real-world engineering are provided, making sure students have the ability to apply what they have learned in real practice.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. 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 Specialization, 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. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
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.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
