Power electronics design, modeling and analysis include circuit theory,electromagnetics, semiconductor devices, microprocessors, signal processing, control, simulation, heattransfer, electromagnetic compatibility and even artificial intelligence. The classical instruction approachis based on lectures and laboratories assisted by teachers. However, power electronics teaching is not aneasy task, due to subject complexity, difficulties and student motivation. A natural and efficient way ofteaching power electronics is the problem-oriented and project-based learning (PBL) approach. PBL, as aproblem-centered teaching motivates students to learn actively, bringing real professional world andrequirements closer to the student, is

Education, 2019 Exploiting Digital Twin Technology to Teach Engineering Fundamentals and Afford Real-World Learning Opportunities University of Southern CaliforniaAbstractThis paper presents an innovative instructional approach that capitalizes on digitaltwin technology to transform traditional lectures into “learning-by doing”experiences in the course laboratory. In this paper, we address how the use ofdigital twin technology in laboratory simulation environments affords studentsauthentic learning experiences, i.e., experiences that reflect what a learner isexpected to encounter in the real-world. The immediate feedback feature, enabledby the connection of the digital twin to the physical twin, provides

is reached.The second shortcoming is that labs are limited to three-hour-long experiments conducted in astrictly controlled environment due to safety concerns, leaving little room for exploration andindependent trial-and-error.One attractive complement to the lecture/lab approach is simulations. Simulation software allowsstudents to operate realistic power electronics circuits on their own time, and hence gain a morethorough understanding of the concepts they are exposed to in lectures at their own pace.There have been multiple reports of simulations being successfully used to augment teaching inengineering courses. Butterfield and coworkers developed browser-based simulations for a first-year-level chemical engineering laboratory course

A focus on the networking aspect of the RTOS kernel wasexplained by teaching the CAN bus. The emphasis was to make clear the networking part of theRTOS [9]. Laboratories were developed for teaching RTOS. For example, a virtual machineenvironment was introduced to reduce the setup time [10]. A commercial grade open sourceRTOS, FreeRTOS, was taught to show the deployment of RTOS. The emphasis was on using theFreeRTOS but not designing an RTOS [11]. The approach in [11] is a “top-down

No solution is given to them and it is not covered in the prior course lectures, though the lab teaching assistant will help them to figure out the solution. In addition, at the end of each laboratory exercise, the students ask a series of reflection questions to help them evaluate their performance and what they could do better.All of these courses were initiated in response to industry demand. In the 1980’s, AT&Tsponsored a project to develop manufacturing-related courses

Group work can offer many benefits includingimproved communication and team work skills, appreciation and respect for others, and evenincreased individual performance. However, group work may also present drawbacks includingostracism, unequal work distribution (some group members not ‘pulling their own weight’) anddecreased individual performance.

Jonathan described this synergy between student and TAs: It helps to see a TA or professor caring about their subject, because it implies that they care that the students are trying to learn the subject, and that they are doing
