Abstract :
This paper addresses the issue of undergraduate education in the field of power electronics. Based on the 1990 survey conducted by the Power Engineering Education Resources Subcommittee, we carefully study the collected data to address key issues regarding undergraduate education in power electronics. Suggested curriculum in power electronics is presented. Moreover, state-of-the-art power electronics laboratory set-up along with supporting simulation laboratory is described. Simulation design examples using Pspice program for some power electronics projects are given.
