An electric drive system includes generation, power electronic drive or powerprocessing unit (PPU), motor, and load components. By end-to-end instruction we mean teachthe student to design an electric drive system, with appropriate understanding of the role thatgeneration and end-use (motor plus load) affects the design of the PPU.This objective correlates well with Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET), Accrediting Engineering Programs, criterion 3 (Program Outcomes and Assessment),item (c), which states “Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have anability to design a system
