pre-recorded lectures. To enhance this concept,a hybrid approach to the traditional lecture was applied. In this approach, students are exposed toboth on-line and face-to-face lecture methods. In addition, this approach included a short onlinequiz through BlackboardTM before each course module and a short quiz at the start of classsession after each course module to improve student participation. In fact, a 2010 U.S.Department of Education report1 concluded that “Instruction combining online and face-to-faceelements had a larger advantage relative to purely face-to-face instruction than did purely onlineinstruction”. However this report targeted very broad population including K-12, careertechnology, medical and higher education, as well as

areas of AC/DC Power System Interactions, distributed energy systems, power quality, and grid-connected re- newable energy applications including solar and wind power systems. He is a senior member of IEEE, member of ASEE, Tau Beta Pi National Engineering Honor Society, and ATMAE. Dr. Pecen was recog- nized as an Honored Teacher/Researcher in ”Who’s Who among America’s Teachers” in 2004-2009. Dr. Pecen is a recipient of 2010 Diversity Matters Award at the University of Northern Iowa for his efforts on promoting diversity and international education at UNI. He is also a recipient of 2011 UNI C.A.R.E Sustainability Award for the recognition of applied research and development of renewable energy appli- cations at

ofthe power electronics course is to present, cover and discuss the fundamental concepts, basics ofindustrial and power electronic converters over a spectrum of applications and to provide anintroduction to the emerging technologies in these fields. Upon completion of this course thestudents are expected to be familiar with: power computation, concepts, power switchingdevices, DC-DC, DC-AC, AC-DC and AC-AC power converters, switch-mode power supplies,and drives, as well as with extended utility, renewable energy and power processing applicationsof power electronics circuits [36-39]. The course format makes the students gradually moreresponsible for the analysis and design of the circuitry, control and components which permitsnominal operation
