Power electronics is a core subject in electrical and electronics engineering at the undergraduate level. The rapid growth in the field of power electronics requires necessary changes in the curricula and practica for power electronics. The proposed next-generation power electronics teaching laboratory changes the learning paradigm for this subject and is for the first time used for teaching purposes in Pakistan. The proposed controller hardware-in-the-loop (CHIL) laboratory enabled students to design, control, and test power converters without the fear of component failure. CHIL setup allowed students to directly validate the physical controller without the need for any real power converter. This allowed students to obtain more repeatable results and perform extreme digital controller testing of power converters that are otherwise not possible on real hardware. Furthermore, students could start learning power electronics concepts with hardware from the beginning on a safe, versatile, fully interactive, and reconfigurable platform. The proposed laboratory meets the accreditation board for engineering and technology (ABET) student outcome criterion K such that students can continue with the same hardware and software toolset for graduate and research purposes. The knowledge and skills acquired during undergraduate years can help students create new solutions for power electronics systems and develop their expertise in the field of power electronics. The results obtained from the survey indicated that the majority of the students were satisfied with the laboratory setup. They also expressed appreciation over the provision of a high-level graphical language “LabVIEW” for the digital controllers compared to conventional low-level text-based languages such as VHDL, Verilog, C, or C++.

The new media data interaction system has profound influences on the teaching efficiency of vocational education. Therefore, its effects on the teaching efficiency of vocational education were analyzed in this study. The analysis was carried out from the perspective of the satisfaction of students with the application of the new media data interaction system in their vocational education and teaching practices. According to scale statistics and the multi-grade fuzzy satisfaction calculation model, results reveal that students are relatively satisfied with the services provided by the new media data interaction system and its effects on teaching efficiency, thereby indicating that such teaching mode can lead to good teaching efficiency. These students also have relatively positive attitudes toward teaching activities based on the new media data interaction system, and this teaching mode can improve their academic performance in vocational education, hence achieving good teaching efficiency. Students of classes that use the new media data interaction system also report higher learning efficiency compared with those students in classes that do not use this system.

“…Besides the use of simulators or virtual environments, Bonisławski et al proposed an approach for teaching Power Electronics based on hardware modules, a and computerized control [4]. The prebuilt hardware modules were demonstrated to alleviate the efforts in the preconfiguration of devices, making it possible for the students to increase the time spent on experimental tasks.…”

Background The use of novel didactic approaches in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) academic programs is a relevant topic in current educational research. In this context, Project‐Based learning is shown as a promising didactic tool for improving the motivation of engineering students. Objective To propose an adapted project‐based approach for lecturing on Power Electronics. The main objective of the project‐based approach is to enhance the attention and motivation of the students in the practical lessons, increasing their knowledge about the subject and, hence, improving results in the theoretical part of the subject. Methods First, we propose a project which combines all the theoretical aspects related to the subject Power Electronics, namely. “Power, Control, Monitoring and Supervision System of an Electric Motor.” Second, each subsystem of the final project is analyzed during each practical lesson, and simulation environments and real circuit manipulations are used for introducing complex Power Electronics concepts to undergraduate students. Results This project‐based methodology has been compared with the demonstration method followed in the previous course by using the validated Students' Evaluations of Educational Quality survey (SEEQ). Conclusions The results show that the adopted methodology has clearly improved the SEEQ results with respect to the demonstration method.
