Engineering - Electrical (55)Electric drives and power electronics are enabling technologies for important applications such as robotics and automated factories. The energy conservation is estimated to save an equivalent of the energy consumed by the state of New York, electric and hybrid-electric vehicles that will reshape the trillion dollar/year automotive industry, the emerging micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) and vital space and defense applications. This project is making a significant step towards reversing the national trend of falling enrollments in related course.The project is developing an innovative curricula for Electric Drives(machines) and Power Electronics courses. The courses are based on the use of the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) software for control of various electric machines and drives. Specifically, laboratory manuals for both instructors and students are being developed. This DSP-based laboratory uses rapid prototyping tool and is providing students with real-world experiences. Real examples from industry are used to teach students the basic concepts of energy conversion. A natural extension of this effort is digital control of power electronics experiments, which meshes well with the trend towards digital control in industry, thus making students better prepared. The project has 9 test-sites, Auburn University, Tuskegee University, Drexel University, Arizona State University, Howard University, Texas Tech University, Oregon State University, University of Missiouri-Rolla, and Penn State University, which will also serve as the regional distribution centers. In addition, the laboratory manuals will be disseminated by the use of the internet allowing for exchange of innovative ideas and suggestions for improvement.

工程-电气（55）电力驱动和电力电子是重要应用的使能技术，如机器人和自动化工厂。据估计，节省的能源相当于纽约州消耗的能源，电动和混合动力汽车将重塑万亿美元/年的汽车工业，新兴的微机电系统（MEMS）以及重要的空间和国防应用。这个项目为扭转全国相关课程入学人数下降的趋势迈出了重要的一步。该项目正在为电力驱动（机器）和电力电子学课程开发创新课程。这些课程是基于使用数字信号处理（DSP）软件来控制各种电机和驱动器。具体来说，正在为教师和学生编写实验室手册。这个基于dsp的实验室使用快速原型设计工具，为学生提供真实世界的经验。从工业的真实例子，教学生能量转换的基本概念。这一努力的自然延伸是电力电子实验的数字控制，这与工业中数字控制的趋势相吻合，从而使学生更好地准备。该项目有9个试验点，分别是奥本大学、塔斯基吉大学、德雷塞尔大学、亚利桑那州立大学、霍华德大学、德克萨斯理工大学、俄勒冈州立大学、密苏里大学罗拉分校和宾夕法尼亚州立大学，这些试验点也将作为区域配送中心。此外，实验室手册将通过互联网传播，以便交流创新想法和改进建议。
