Todevelop student ability in feedback control design and analysis of a power electronic converter,the following approaches have been used: 1) introducing from typical control examples to basiccontrol concepts and block diagrams representation of Figure 6; 2) understanding that thefundamental design objective is to make controlled variable follow the reference input change bydesigning feedback H(s) or compensator D(s) [16]; and 3) designing H(s) and D(s) by using theBode plots which students normally have extensive practices from previous courses such asElectric

, are neither unbiased nor value-free. Everything from what is studied to the subjects forthe experiments is male-dominated. When women begin to enter a field, different questions areasked and methodological and theoretical assumptions challenged. This often leads to thetrivializing of their scholarship Often the only women in their departments, female faculty in the STEM disciplinescommonly are not part of the camaraderie that often develops among young colleagues. This canresult in lack of access to information and professional opportunities (Fox, 1996). Johnsrud andDes Jarlais ‘s (1994) research reveals that faculty women report greater isolation and fewermentors than do their male peers. Their data indicate that women tend to be

consequences are felt over arelatively large period of time that the input/output paradigm breaks down. • An alternative to state transition is the goal-seeking (or decision-making)paradigm. It has its origin in biology and the study of human behavior rather thanphysical phenomena. More concisely, the functioning of the system in the goal-seekingparadigm is represented by two items: goal(s) of the system; and the processes which thesystem possesses to pursue these goals and to respond to the influences from theenvironment. This paradigm accommodates concepts of “satisfactory human behavior” asopposed to the “optimization” view commonly used in economic theory, explicitlyaccounts for uncertainty – both true uncertainty and uncertainty

The main pedagogical approach is aimed at developing the full academicpotential of the students. The study focused on determining students' learning preferences, their study orientationin mathematics and the development of writing skills relevant for engineering.
