This trend initially started with asenior design project that spun into a company which made use of microfluidic technology in anovel way.8 As word spread, a second student, who was not in engineering, asked to use the labto test out an idea, which also spun into a new company. She wished to design electronics tomeasure certain chemical reactions in biologics.9 During this time, we gained clarity onintellectual property rules for the university, and its application to both students and lab spacedesigned for educational use.

indicated by a studentsurvey emphasising learning impact and workload management.IntroductionDue to their ubiquity and technological importance, switch-mode power converters are one of themost crucial components of a modern electrical engineering curriculum. The importance andubiquity of power electronics, however, are matched by their complexity. Students are typicallyintroduced to power electronics when they have developed a rigorous understanding of electricalcircuits, semiconductor physics, signal processing, elementary control theory, digital logic, andwave mathematics. The interplay between these concepts in practical circuits can be difficult forinexperienced students to grasp.Third-year undergraduate students at our university are
