Another good free MOOC starting now:
Introduction To Power Electronics (http://www.coursera.org\learn\power-electronics)
It's the first of a 6 course series on power electronics.
-
Its not free !
Its 270$
Will wait for a free one from another university.

It is free.
It only cost money if you want a certificate.
$270 is for the whole series certificate but you can take the courses without payng anything if you don't care about the certificate.
-
Have you manage to enroll ?
I tried and had only the possibility to pay 45$ for one month or 270$ for the full course.
No possibility to follow wfor free without certificate.
Give me the link if there is one.

Yes, i enrolled a week or two ago and already started the course. Looking at the other courses in the series (For example magnetics (https://www.coursera.org/learn/magnetics-power-electronic-converters)) it looks like i can enroll for free in the same way. When i click on the Enroll button it gives me 3 choices. 1) Purchase specialization $294, 2) Purchase course $49 and 3) Full course no certificate (free).
Maybe that changes once the course starts? I can't check for this one now since I'm already enrolled.

You're welcome. Could you still enroll for free?
Like your sig says: "too much to learn, too little time"
I'm taking 3 MOOCs right now! In my "spare time" after work and family duties... :o

If You enroll then prepare for a relatively heavy ride. It says introduction and i guess it is, but it will be heavy going unless You already have a clue about a number of topics on electronics.
I did this a couple of years ago when certificates were still free, and later as one of the course assistants.
Some of the homework were far from trivial so dont expect to wing it.

I tried again from my laptop, and then I had the possibility of registering for free !
The other time was from the Ipad. The free option was not displayed. Strange ...
