The same board has been in use for over adecade and is still fully functional, with the monetary investment rapidly approaching $0.50 perstudent and falling each time the course is taught. The power demonstrator board is a relativelylow-effort, high-payoff, educational tool that can be used with other existing laboratory andworkshop equipment to create a meaningful learning experience. It is easy to use and maintain,and it provides flexibility for instruction. The board can also be updated with new componentsand materials as technology changes and codes are updated.Integrated into a carefully designed learning experience, the power demonstrator board canprovide active learning for
