Where are we going?

The engineering discipline of power electronics will grow only through the open exchange and critical examination of new ideas byspecialists in the field. It has been the primary goal of the Power Electronics Specialist Conference (PESC) to provide a forum for such an exchange. Over the past seven years we have seen this annual conference grow in maturity and scope. Five societies of the IEEE, representing specialists from the aerospace, commerical products and components sectors, now actively participate in the planning and co-sponsorship of PESC. Looking forward to future years, we plan to work with additional groups and societies with interests in the power electronics field.
