This grant will support a Faculty Workshop on "Teaching of First Courses on Power Electronics and Electric Drives" in March 2001. This workshop will promote the following objectives:1. Provide the highest quality undergraduate education in this field,2. Motivate and attract talented students,3. Minimize lecture-preparation time for the instructors, and4. Facilitate teaching of these courses by EE faculty specializing in other fields.Power electronics and electric drives have the potential to improve industrial productivity by means of robotics and factory automation, and of making the United States become a nation that uses electricity most efficiently. There is a looming crisis in the undergraduate education of power electronics and electric drives which, if not addressed, will leave the nation with far too few engineers to take advantage of these opportunities. Power electronics will also be crucial to transitrtren, in the motor vehicle sector allowing more efficient use of energy.The University of Minnesota has studied the restructuring of these courses since 1994. This effort received a strong impetus from funding by NSF, EPRI, and the local utilities in May 1997 when a three-year project Innovations in Power Engineering Education there, including prior workshops on "Teaching of Electric Drives" and "Teaching of Power Electronics". Both of these workshops were highly successful, each attended by nearly one hundred participants. The new workshop will build on the new experience resulting from this prior activity and also attempt to develop integration of the two areas. The new workshop will build on the new experience resulting from this prior activity and also attempt to develop integration of the two areas.As a part of the workshop proceedings, copies of completed lecture notes, lecture transparencies, and the simulation exercises discussed during the workshop will be distributed. Ways of tightly coupling lecture material to simulations and hardware laboratory will be discussed.

这笔赠款将支持 2001 年 3 月举办的“电力电子和电力驱动第一门课程教学”教师讲习班。该讲习班将促进以下目标：1．提供该领域最高质量的本科教育，2。激励和吸引有才华的学生，3。最大限度地减少教师的讲课准备时间，以及4。促进其他领域的电气工程教师教授这些课程。电力电子和电力驱动有潜力通过机器人和工厂自动化提高工业生产力，并使美国成为一个最有效利用电力的国家。电力电子和电力驱动的本科教育面临着迫在眉睫的危机，如果不加以解决，该国将缺乏工程师来利用这些机会。 电力电子对于机动车辆领域的运输也至关重要，可以更有效地利用能源。明尼苏达大学自 1994 年以来一直在研究这些课程的重组。这项工作得到了 NSF、EPRI 和1997 年 5 月，当地公用事业公司开展了为期三年的电力工程教育创新项目，其中包括之前的“电力驱动教学”和“电力电子教学”研讨会。这两场研讨会都非常成功，每场都有近百人参加。 新的研讨会将建立在先前活动所产生的新经验的基础上，并尝试发展这两个领域的整合。 新的研讨会将建立在先前活动所产生的新经验的基础上，并尝试将这两个领域整合起来。作为研讨会程序的一部分，将提供已完成的讲义副本、讲座幻灯片以及研讨会期间讨论的模拟练习将被分发。 将讨论将讲座材料与模拟和硬件实验室紧密结合的方法。
