Abstract

The use of power electronics-based equipment has been steadily increasing in industrial and consumer applications, leading professional training in the field to be increasingly predicated on economic growth, and resulting in the motivation of electrical engineering students which choose this discipline. This paper presents a teaching and problem-based learning experience in power electronics, as well as a proposal and experimental project developed by student groups.
