Design and Assemble an IC Engine Using SolidWorks
By the end of this course, learners will be able to model, assemble, and validate a complete internal combustion (IC) engine using SolidWorks, applying parametric design principles, mechanical relationships, and assembly constraints to real-world engineering components. Learners will develop the ability to create detailed 3D parts, construct functional sub-assemblies, and integrate complex mechanisms such as pistons, crankshafts, gears, and valve trains into a fully constrained engine assembly. This hands-on case study guides learners through the complete IC engine design workflow, moving from individual part modeling to final assembly verification. Through step-by-step demonstrations, learners gain practical experience in sketching, solid modeling, reference geometry, and mating strategies essential for mechanical design roles. What makes this course unique is its end-to-end project-based approach, where every component is designed with assembly intent and functional motion in mind. Instead of isolated exercises, learners build a realistic engine model that reflects industry-style CAD practices. This course is ideal for mechanical engineering students, CAD professionals, and SolidWorks users seeking to strengthen their practical 3D modeling and assembly skills through a comprehensive, real-world design project.

Producing Music in the Home Studio
With technology advancing at lighting speed in recent years, it has become possible for music makers to produce high-quality recordings right from the comfort of their own home studios. It is now commonplace for an independent artist to not just be a recording artist, but also the songwriter, the engineer, and the music producer! This course provides practical techniques for music production that can be applied in any Digital Audio Workstation software. You will start with a song idea and then develop it in the pre-production stage. As part of the pre-production stage the course introduces proven concepts in commercial music production to help you take your song idea to the next level. You will then arrange your song by adding audio and MIDI recordings. This is followed by the editing stage, an important step that is easy to overlook if you’re not careful. The last step is mixing, where you will learn about volume balance, panning, dynamic processors, equalization, and time-based effects.

Healthy and Sustainable Foods
This course focuses on healthy and sustainable foods. After reviewing the crucial role of food for both health and the environment, we first look at the carbon footprint and environmental impacts of multiple ingredients and more complex foods. We also detail a health-based approach to quantify the impact of 5000+ individual foods on health, expressed in minutes of life lost and gain per serving. We then analyze trade-offs and targeted changes that can bring substantial health and environmental benefits with less than 10% caloric change. We finally address the health and sustainable performances of various diets, looking at disparities between gender, races and diets.

A Technical Leader's Qualities and Effectiveness
This course describes the traits of Great Leaders who combine fierce resolve with personal humility. Indeed, they might be described more as “plow horses” as opposed to “show horses”. They see themselves as servants to the team and to the organization. They “hold the line” when faced with tough decisions and “do what must be done” when the time comes. Their leadership is based on solid ethical principles and they act with quiet, calm determination. This course can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Engineering in Engineering Management (ME-EM) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The ME-EM is designed to help engineers, scientists, and technical professionals move into leadership and management roles in the engineering and technical sectors. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the ME-EM is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience.
