Recently the use and development ofeducational software and simulation tools have been considerably increased for bothundergraduate and graduate levels. Software tools developers started giving attention to reduceamount of expensive commercial testing equipments by software and simulation tools whichgives the upfront analysis opportunity to industry. Many educational institutions prefer usingsoftware simulation tools instead of buying expensive test equipments for their laboratories, andresearch facilities. Taking engineering education into account, a demonstration mostly engageswith process modeling, testing and simulation, imitated data

These various techniques include think-share, think-pair-share, observe and comment,group discussion, and the flipped classroom. Active learning has been shown to be more effectivethan passive learning within a traditional lecture setting. In my courses, these methods have shownincreased student understanding of the differences between mathematical models and physicalrealizations of systems.

Simulation software allowsstudents to operate realistic power electronics circuits on their own time, and hence gain a morethorough understanding of the concepts they are exposed to in lectures at their own pace.There have been multiple reports of simulations being successfully used to augment teaching inengineering courses.
