Abstract :
This paper presents a power electronics educational laboratory suitable for undergraduate and graduate students. The pedagogical approach taken is one where the students revisit previously studied material placed in a practical context. This approach supports the prerequisite lecture material and allows study of some practical issues which are best handled in a laboratory setting. The course format makes the students gradually more responsible for the design of control circuitry which permits nominal operation of generic power converters. The laboratory experience culminates in a project where the student analyzes, designs, simulates and demonstrates a power electronics related topic
