Power electronics laboratory education: The JUST experience

Power electronics has become increasingly important as more applications are electrified. Application range from personnel mobile electronics, to home appliance, transportation and renewable energy systems to name a few. Advances in power semiconductors technology combined with demand for higher efficiency, faster, compact systems has revolutionized the industry, and created a high demand for power electronic engineers. In this paper, an overview of power electronics laboratory education, teaching methodology and student evaluation at Jordan University of Science & Technology (JUST) will be presented.
