Abstract :
Novel inter-institutional activities in power electronics and adjustable motor drive education are proposed. Some valuable results of the methodical, research, and experimental work carried out by Tallinn University of Technology and St. Petersburg Electrotechnical University are presented. The paper is focused on the inter-disciplinary curriculum, the virtual e-learning electronic laboratory, the versatile approach to the course and diploma design, and the first experience in team design organization. An open access to the developed educational resources is provided via Internet.
