About the Course:Undergraduate level courses on power electronics teach different power converter circuits and methods to analyze them. But all jobs related to power electronics need good knowledge of designing hardware. Proper hardware design in power electronics involves knowledge of several topics which are beyond the scope of a core course in power electronics. This course intends to fill this gap. In this course, students will learn the important concepts needed to design proper power electronic hardware, simulation tools, proper designing of power PCB, designing magnetics, reducing electromagnetic interference etc. By the end of course students should be able to design and test any power electronic converter on their own. INTENDED AUDIENCE : People with interest in power electronics, especially hardware design. PREREQUISITES :Introductory course on power electronics.INDUSTRY SUPPORT :Companies involved in power electronics product designing and its applications
