Assigned Department Objectives
Teaching Method
Outline:
Power-electronics technology is an interdisciplinary field for converting electricity using semiconductor switch devices. The range of applications includes consumer electronics devices, information field, electric power applications, and renewable energy generation, making it an essential technology for modern social life. This course will explain and deepen students' understanding of the basics of power electronics and make them understand the importance of this technology.
Style:
Classes will be conducted focusing on lectures, and explanations of related technologies may be added.
Notice:
This course requires students to use the knowledge they have acquired in the past, such as the content of Electric Circuits and Circuit Theory, and the Fourier transform, therefore it will be necessary for them to review what they have already learned independently, in addition to the studying for this course. Take notes and thoroughly review the material. Makeup exams, etc. may be held if students with outstanding efforts fall short of the passing score by a small margin, and make a request. All assignments are required to be submitted.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
