Sustainable Development Goals

Learning Goals

Students will obtain useful skills to understand the Industrial Power Electronics basic principles. They will learn the functioning of power electronics converters, and also the power electronic devices. Students will also know how to specify the converters for different application types. Students will also acquire competences that will allow them to pursuit and increase their studies and knowledge.

Teaching Methods

The teaching method is based in theoretical, practical and laboratory classes.

Assessment
The theoretical part: 3 Tests or a Final Exam: Minimum grade 9.5
- [F1] Test 1 ? (25%) (min 8.0)
- [F2] Test 2 - (25%) (min 8.0)-
- [Ex1, Ex2] Final Exam (50%)

The Laboratorial part has minimum grade 9.5
- [L] Laboratory (25%)

Project
- [P] Project (25%)


[NF] Final Grade: NF = Max{(F1 + F2)/2; Ex1; Ex 2}×0.5 + L×0.25 + P×0.25

If NF>= 9.5 : Approved
If NF< 9.5 : Failed

Student tutoring available outside the class, 2 times per week in slots of 2 hours each. Email available for basic questions or for rescheduling the tutoring timetable in order to suit each student.
