Building Training and Awareness Platform for Future Engineers in Power Electronics Market

在我们社会的每个部门都在向低碳经济转型的世界里，电力电子比以往任何时候都更需要电力电子。在所有工业部门，无论是电动或混合动力汽车、海洋船只、更电动的飞机还是具有可再生能源发电的智能电网，对电力电子产品的需求都在显著增长，以成功实现环境和气候变化目标。目前对下一代电力电子工程师的需求巨大，以支持绿色现代能源网络和低碳交通运输解决方案的快速增长和发展，包括海洋、汽车和航空航天。这项为期5天的行业兼容培训课程是为任何工程学科的本科生和研究生设计的，他们希望获得更多电力电子领域的知识和发展专业知识。我们的目标是对该领域有一个很好的概述，并提供行业所需的相应技能和能力的培训机会。该课程包括由QMUL学者举办的关于电力电子及其应用的丰富讲座，以及由英国领先公司的行业专家举办的以工业为导向的研讨会和案例研究。参与者将能够通过小组研讨会学习并参与与QMUL学者的丰富讨论和工业讲座。研讨会的最后一天将举行参与者之间的竞争，最佳候选人将被授予奖品，3名顶尖学员有机会获得赞助公司的工业就业机会。相关电力电子咨询公司和QMUL的职业和企业团队举办了职业导向课程，以了解在英国这个快速扩张的行业中，除了工业就业和实习之外，不断增长的需求和可用的职业机会。该培训课程具有强烈的行业针对性，它将通过展示电力电子电路及其实时控制系统实施的现代建模、仿真、测试和实验验证工具，提高学员在电力电子设计和制造方面的动手技能，这些工具适用于许多行业。

In a world transforming into more electrical for the purpose of transition to a low carbon economy across every sector of our society, Power Electronics is needed more than ever before. In all sectors of industry whether it is an electric or hybrid vehicle, a marine vessel, a more electric aircraft or a smart grid with renewable energy generation, the need for power electronics is significantly growing to successfully meet environmental and climate change targets. There is currently a massive need for next-generation power electronic engineers to support the fast-growing demand and developments in green modern energy networks and low carbon solutions for transport including marine, automotive and aerospace.This 5-day industry-compatible training course is designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students from any engineering discipline wanting to gain more knowledge and develop expertise in the area of power electronics. We aim to give a good overview of the field, with training opportunities for corresponding skills and competencies needed by industry. The course includes a rich mix of focused lectures on Power Electronics and their applications, delivered by QMUL academics, in addition to industrially oriented seminars and case studies, delivered by industrial experts from leading UK companies. Participants will be able to learn and engage in rich discussions with QMUL academics and industrial lectures through small group workshops. A competition between participants will be held on the last day of the workshop and prizes will be awarded to best candidates, with the opportunity for the 3 top trainees to get industrial placement by the sponsored companies.Career driven sessions are given by relevant power electronics consultancy companies and the Careers and Enterprise team at QMUL to appreciate the growing demand and available career opportunities in addition to industrial placements and internships in this fast expanding area among UK industry. The training course has a strong industry focus and it will enhance participants hands-on skills in power electronics design and manufacturing by demonstrating modern tools for modelling, simulation, testing and experimental validation of power electronic circuits and their real-time control systems implementation, of the type used in many industries.
