Abstract

The paper describes different possibilities of using the computer in power electronics education. After discussing several computer application possibilities, the usage of computers in education processes at FER Zagreb is explained. Various forms of computer application are used for lectures, as well as for laboratory exercises. A multimedia approach is implemented in all forms of the teaching process. Presentation slides, animations, simulations, measurements on real circuits, as well as video clips are extensively used, resulting in a more interesting teaching process and better student knowledge.
