Description and assessment of activities oriented to enhance a first course on power electronics / Fernandez, C. in IEEE transactions on education, Vol. 54 N° 4 (Novembre 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on education > Vol. 54 N° 4 (Novembre 2011) . - pp. 531 - 539 Titre : Description and assessment of activities oriented to enhance a first course on power electronics Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Fernandez, C., Auteur ; Zumel, P., Auteur ; Sanz, M., Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : pp. 531 - 539 Note générale : education Langues : Français (fre) Mots-clés : Engineering  education;  laboratory;  power  electronics;  simulation;  teaching  material Résumé : The ongoing search for excellence in education requires the review and renewal of teaching strategies, concentrating efforts on courses that are not attractive to students or are considered to be unsuccessful. This paper is focused on an undergraduate power electronics course in which students had poor academic results in the past. The actions taken to improve the situation over the last several academic years are described, and an exhaustive analysis is presented of the results achieved, based on student statistics and surveys. The teaching experience is presented so as to offer some useful tips for educators wanting to improve courses of similar characteristics in a cost-effective and efficient way.

Step-by-step design of an FPGA-based digital compensator for DC/DC converters oriented to an introductory course / Zumel, P. in IEEE transactions on education, Vol. 54 N° 4 (Novembre 2011) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on education > Vol. 54 N° 4 (Novembre 2011) . - pp. 599 - 609 Titre : Step-by-step design of an FPGA-based digital compensator for DC/DC converters oriented to an introductory course Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Zumel, P., Auteur ; Fernandez, C., Auteur ; Sanz, M., Auteur Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : pp. 599 - 609 Note générale : education Langues : Français (fre) Mots-clés : digital  control;  educational;  field-programmable  gate  array  (FPGA);  power  electronics Résumé : In this paper, a short introductory course to introduce field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based digital control of dc/dc switching power converters is presented. Digital control based on specific hardware has been at the leading edge of low-medium power dc/dc switching converters in recent years. Besides industry's interest in this topic, from the educational point of view, digital control is a multidisciplinary subject that is very attractive to include in various programs of study. The course presented here covers the calculation and implementation procedure for a linear compensator based on an FPGA for a dc/dc converter. The approach taken is structured in a step-by-step design flow combining theoretical justifications, use of CAD tools, and lab experience. The course can be adapted to students' various backgrounds and time schedules.
