Abstract


Power electronics have rapid growth in research and prompt emergent technology in electrical discipline. Study of Power Electronics (PE) for undergraduate and post graduate students is very much necessary as every industry is driven with power electronic converter based control of electric drives. This paper showcases the teaching of PE with effective teaching methodologies such as project based, lab acclimatize learning etc., Project Based Learning is recognized to be a motivating and problem centric teaching, that not only supports the students to acquire core knowledge but also helps the students to transfer their technical knowledge into realtime application. Problem will be given to students and asked to solve it to fulfil the industrial requirement and to obtain the course attainment. In this review paper Project Based Learning (PBL) is introduced and the feedback of the students before and after introducing the PBL is analysed.

Keywords

Project Based Learning, Power Electronic Converters, Course Assessment, Simulation Tools.
