Course Objective

The field of power electronics in industrial, commercial, residential, aerospace and military has the widespread applications. Power semiconductor devices are the key devices of modern power electronics. A power electronics engineer needs to understand the device for efficient, reliable and cost-effective design of converter. This course is dedicated to give specific knowledge on the power semiconductor switches and power electronics converters for graduate level students.
