] There exists no general agreement on the content nor structure for a second powerelectronics course, one that has the introductory power converters course as a prerequisite. Suchsecond courses are invariably graduate courses intended to prepare the student for researchappropriate for the graduate program at hand.[4,5] A typical introductory power converters course addresses the topics identified in thefollowing outline.[5] This outline is similar to one compiled by Akagi in his survey of Japaneseinstruction in power electronics.[10].I.

Pólya’s method becausemost students have poor skills in these areas. Future plans address math literacy further and seekmore effective ways of implementing some techniques.Because students’ knowledge and skills will vary, it is prudent to check prerequisite knowledge,as well as basic problem-solving ability, at the start of the semester, and then address anynecessary issues that arise before they interfere with achieving the course objectives. Technologycan facilitate this process, if used judiciously with educational objectives in mind. However,because technology is evolving rapidly, periodic assessment is prudent. Bibliography[1] S.

mechatronics program at ourinstitution has experienced a steady growth trying to meet this need. However, the curricularchanges that follow these fast-paced technologies are often difficult to implement in theclassroom in a timely manner. Often, new products become available but without appropriatedocumentation for quick implementation in educational laboratories. It may take a year or longerto develop a set of laboratory exercises for a new microcontroller or a 3D printer. Thus, theknowledge must come from other informal sources, like workshops, technical presentations,conferences, etc. Students are taught to embrace change and keep current.
