ensures that one set of priorities does not dominate the review process.Considered individually, more students would meet the application review criteria outlined so farthan we can support at our REU Site. Thus, our approach also emphasizes the characteristics of thecohort rather than just the those of the individual students. Our cohort criteria are (1) The studentsshould come from different schools. We have learned that group dynamics can suffer if a subset ofstudents is from a single school. (2) The students must plausibly fit within a range of possibleresearch projects because we cannot place all the students in just one or two research labs. (3) Thestudents should bring diversity of life experiences because the students will not learn as

Electrical engineering students are so accustomed to using commerciallyavailable inductors or transformers whenever they need to use them in their projects. Often timesthis approach is not practical as commercially available magnetic components are limited in theirstandard values. Furthermore, power semiconductor companies many times require their newelectrical engineers to have the basic magnetic design skill enough to design and build their ownmagnetic components for their prototype products. This in turn will reduce company’s time toproduction as well as minimize prototyping cost. To address this issue, Cal Poly
