Teaching Power Electronics: How to Achieve the Desired Learning Outcomes?

January 19, 2023 by Drazen Dujic

It is often said that teaching is an art as much as is science, and while it relies on tradition, it also draws from the innovations from various fields and inevitably evolves. There is no single best way to teach a certain topic, and clearly personal preferences of the teacher, background experience, availability of various teaching support equipment, number of students attending the course and desired learning outcomes will all come to play when defining an approach to develop a curriculum and practical method of delivery. This article does not aim to be scientific, completely correct, nor a universal way of doing the same thing, but rather aims to directly share experiences of how a Bachelor level Power Electronics (EE-365) course is organized by the Power Electronics Laboratory and taught at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland.
