US-Jordan Workshop: Developing a Modern Power Electronics Curriculum, Amman, Jordan, May 1999.

9817864 Batarseh描述：该奖项是为了支持将于1999年5月1日至5日在约旦安曼举行的美国-约旦现代电力电子课程开发研讨会。 主要研究者是位于佛罗里达奥兰多的中央佛罗里达大学电气和计算机工程系的Issa Batarseh博士。 约旦组织者是约旦安曼约旦大学电气和计算机工程系的Sadeq Hamed博士。 主题将包括：电力电子课程开发;硬件和软件实验室开发;电力系统、机器和电力电子接口;研究需求;以及产学合作。 为期五天的研讨会的目标是：（1）审查和讨论当前的课程设置和电力电子工程师的行业需求;（2）就全球电力电子课程达成共识;（3）就实验室课程大纲和硬件实验室和计算机仿真支持和设备提出建议;以及（4）建议合作研究领域。适用范围：该项目将使八名在电力电子方面经验丰富的美国科学家与约旦的参与科学家一起审查电力电子培训和研究的需求，并制定这一领域联合研究的议程。 预计这一努力将导致一个全球可用的电力电子工程师培训课程的建议，以处理当前和新兴行业的各种应用和需求。 这一建议符合INT的目标，即支持有可能在共同感兴趣的领域加强合作的国际讲习班。 该项目由INT和电气和通信系统司共同资助。

9817864BatarsehDescription: This award is to support an US-Jordan Workshop on Developing a Modern Power Electronics Curriculum, to be held in Amman, Jordan, May 1-5, 1999. The Principal Investigator is Dr. Issa Batarseh, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, University of Central Florida, in Orlando, Florida. The Jordanian organizer is Dr. Sadeq Hamed of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Jordan in Amman, Jordan. The topics will cover: power electronics curriculum development; hardware and software laboratory development; power system, machines and power electronics interface; research needs; and industry-university collaboration. The objectives of the five-day workshop are: (1) review and discuss the current course offerings and industry needs for power electronics engineers; (2) reach consensus on global power electronics curricula; (3) make recommendations on laboratory course outline and on hardware laboratory and computer simulation support and equipment; and (4) recommend areas for collaborative research. Scope: This project will allow eight US scientists, who are experienced in power electronics, to examine with participating scientists from Jordan the needs of training and research in power electronics, and to develop an agenda for joint research in this area. It is expected that this effort will result in recommendations of a globally usable curriculum for training of power electronics engineers to deal with the various applications and demands of current and nascent industries. This proposal meets the INT objective of supporting international workshops that are likely to increase collaboration in areas of mutual interest. This project is co-funded by INT and the Division of Electrical and communications Systems.
