Course Objectives:
After successfully completing the course, the students will be able to:
• Understand the theory and methods for analysis and design of power electronics
circuits,
• Applications of solid-state devices for the control and conversion of electric energy.
• Know how to use design and simulation software such as Pspice and Matlab.

Outcome Coverage:
(a) An ability to apply math, science and engineering knowledge. The homework,
project, quizzes and exams require direct applications of mathematical, scientific,
and engineering knowledge to successfully complete the course.
(b) An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret
data. The homework and project require student to design, conduct simulations using
Pspice or MATLAB and analyze simulation data.
(c) An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within
realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical,
health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. The design in the project
must be checked against real world operating limits.
(d) Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems. Students must be able to identify
and model the system; analyze and solve control problems.
(e) An ability to communicate effectively. Students are required to write a
comprehensive report on the project.
(f) An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering
practice. Students taking the course will learn how to use power electronics techniques and software
tools such as Pspice and MATLAB for solving practical control problems.

Important Remarks:

• Attendance: 1/3 point will be deducted for each unexcused absence, starting
from the first absence. Any student that exceeds 20% of the schedule class
meeting without any official excuse will receive a grade DN in the course.

• Official excuses: All official excuses must be submitted to the instructor no later
than one week of the date of the official excuse. The instructor may not accept a
late excuse.

• Academic Dishonesty: According to the university regulations, if the instructor


for any instance of academic dishonesty discovers any student, the instructor may
give a failing (F) grade to the student and report it to the dean of the college.

• Homework: The homework assignment is to be solved completely by the


students. However, homework solution will not be collected. Instead, quiz
related to the homework problems is expected on Wednesdays, in the week
following the homework assignment date. Homework solution can be found on
the network link: WebCT

Office Hours: Sunday-Tuesday 10:00-11:00AM, Monday 1:10-2:00PM or by appointment.
