Course outline
Understand the basic characteristics of power devices and the operating principles of typical circuits for power electronics technology widely used in industry. Students will also learn the basics of technology applied to various applications. Use English texts to improve technical English reading comprehension.
Style:
Course method :
Classes are conducted in the form of each student presenting the shared part. Report and exercise as appropriate to deepen understanding.

Grade evaluation method :
Presentation content ・ Evaluate based on presentation materials (40%) and assignments (60%).
Notice:
Precautions on the enrollment :
 This is a class that requires study outside of class hours. A total of 45 hours of study is required per credit, including both class time and study outside class time. Follow the instructions of the instructor regarding study outside of class hours.

Course advice :
 As a preparatory study to be conducted in advance, the lecture will be given on the assumption that the basics of semiconductor power conversion have already been taken. In semiconductor power conversion circuits, it is important to understand the operation of inductors and capacitors, which are the basic elements of electric circuits.

Foundational subjects :
Electrical and Electronic Basics II (2nd Year), Electronic Engineering (3rd), Electrical Circuit I, II (3rd, 4th), Electrical Equipment I, II (2nd, 3rd)

Related subjects :
 Power Electronics (5th year), Electrical and electronic equipment (1st in advanced course)

Attendance advice :
Rather than the passive attitude of listening to the lecture, the lesson is regarded as a place to announce the results of the preparation and exchange opinions with teachers and other students, or as a place to ask questions and comments to the presenter from a critical point of view. If it is within 25 minutes of the start of class, it will be late, and 3 times late will result in 1 absence.
