For these systems, particularly in military applications, device reliability takes priorityover other design considerations like efficiency or cost. Of course, these other considerationsplay a significant role in system design; however, reliability is foremost in design specificationsfor high power systems due to the dangerous nature of faults. It is often this consideration thatincentivizes the use of thoroughly tested semiconductor materials. In order to encourage theadoption of new semiconductor materials into power electronic design, there is a need to maturethe

thisstruggle manifests most often as an expectation that ENED research is a more systematic method ofconducting course assessment or program evaluation.

In response, we spent a chunk of that incubator meetingemphasizing the difference between evaluation questions and educational research questions: Theformer is meant to improve the program, while the latter is meant to generate knowledge that advancesengineering education as a field.
