NSF has previously funded the University of Minnesota to develop novel approaches and laboratory setups for the teaching of Power Electronics and Electric Drives. These innovative approaches and laboratory setups have been shown to be effective in attracting students into the power systems concentration in the Electrical Engineering degree program at the University of Minnesota, and these innovative methods have shown to have the flexibility to address the different learning styles of the students. As a consequence, these approaches can serve as national models for improving power systems courses at other institutions. Toward this end, this project is disseminating these approaches in effort to revitalize power electronics and electric drives courses on a national scale.The management team for the project consists of the PI and two co-PIs from the University of Minnesota, and two co-PIs from other universities-- one from Tuskegee University and the other from the Arizona State University.The structure of the project includes a minimum of three workshops for the dissemination of the practices and materials. Each workshop is formulated on the experiences of the management team with these innovative methods at the University of Minnesota. Each workshop is designed for approximately 100 participants. The participants of the workshops are provided with the detailed methods used in developing the approaches, and they are given training to familiarize them with the laboratory hardware. The goal is for each participant to gain the knowledge and experience to offer these or similar courses at his/her home institution. Finally, the participants are encouraged to adapt these laboratories and seek funding through the CCLI-A&I program.The project consists of a detailed evaluation and assessment plan.

美国国家科学基金会此前曾资助明尼苏达大学开发电力电子和电力驱动教学的新方法和实验室设置。这些创新的方法和实验室设置已被证明在吸引学生进入明尼苏达大学电气工程学位课程的电力系统集中方面是有效的，这些创新的方法已被证明具有灵活性，以解决学生的不同学习风格。因此，这些方法可以作为其他机构改进电力系统课程的国家模式。为此目的，本项目正在推广这些方法，努力在全国范围内恢复电力电子和电力驱动课程。该项目的管理团队包括PI和来自明尼苏达大学的两位合作PI，以及来自其他大学的两位合作PI——一位来自塔斯基吉大学，另一位来自亚利桑那州立大学。该项目的结构包括至少三个讲习班，以传播实践和材料。每个研讨会都是根据明尼苏达大学管理团队使用这些创新方法的经验制定的。每个工作坊的参与者约为100人。工作坊的参加者被提供了详细的方法，用于发展的方法，并给予他们培训，以熟悉实验室硬件。目标是让每个参与者获得知识和经验，以便在其所在机构开设这些或类似的课程。最后，鼓励参与者调整这些实验室，并通过CCLI-A&amp；I计划寻求资助。该项目包括详细的评估和评估计划。
