The semester began with a talk by Dr. Desmond Lawler entitled‘Teaching Engineers – Thoughts and Techniques.’ He had many valuable insights aboutteaching techniques and dealing with students. There was also a department chair panel in whichthree department chairs participated: Dr. Dolling of Aerospace Engineering and EngineeringMechanics, Dr. Ekerdt, of Chemical Engineering, and Dr. Lamb of Mechanical Engineering,talked about ‘Interviewing for Faculty Positions’.

For example, it would not bepossible to get the same level of performance in machine tool and robotic drives, or in pulp andpaper mill drives, or various vehicle propulsion systems without the use of a proper powerelectronic converter. The discipline is now becoming vital to industry and its application isspreading by leaps and bounds with the development of new and more powerful devices.Widespread applications of Power electronic devices can be seen in industrial, commercial,residential, utility, military and aerospace environments.

Coupled with advances in EDA, this goal has led overthe last few years to a shift from the old “find and fix” approach to a new “predict and prevent”paradigm10. Figure 1 illustrates the relationships between the various design functions that supportthis new approach. Here, the design starts with a virtual prototype and ends with complete designverification. This total system approach has driven the industry design trends that are described inthe following paragraphs. System

TheGreen Team was helped by a retired mechanical engineer once responsible for manufacturingoperations at an aerospace company and now eager to help with machining tasks.
