Professional interest

Due to the constant grow of the use of electronic equipments in industry and domestic sector, nowadays Power Electronics is a very important subject because it is the engineering field responsible of the conversion of available electric power in other one adapted to the load to be powered. Nowadays many companies need professionals with advanced knowledge of Power Electronics, some of the sectors that demand this type of professionals are:
- Renewable Energies
- Electrical Vehicles.
- Electric power: transport, substations, distribution
- Power Supplies

Methodology and grading

Methodology

Cooperative learning: Develop active learning through cooperative working strategies among students and promote shared responsibility to reach group goals.
Lecture: Pass on knowledge and activate cognitive processes in students, encouraging their participation.
Problem-based learning: Develop active learning strategies through problem solving that promote thinking, experimentation, and decision making in the student.
Project-based learning: Realization of a project to solve a problem, applying acquired learning and promoting abilities related to planning, design, performing activities, and reaching conclusions.
Solving exercises and problems: Exercise, test, and apply previous knowledge through routine repetition.

Grading

The final mark will be the result of the theoretical examination of the subject, which may be problems develop or test type (80%) and the mark obtained in laboratory practice and simulation (20%), (whichever pass both parts , averaging). Is considered approved, an endmark less than 5.0. Will take place only averaged discussed above, if the marks both practical and theory are greater than or equal to 5.0.
The mark obtained a job in volunteer group, proposed to students will increase by (10%), the final mark for the course, obtained from the average between theory and practice, provided it has been approved of theory and in the case where this average is less than a rating of 10.
The mark of the practical part of the course, will be obtained from the practices in the laboratory and in computer rooms, by continuous assessment of the student, both the work performed and the results obtained, and the behavior shown in the classroom, and / or delivery of a report of the practices and / or performance of a theoretical or practical test, according to professor deemed necessary.
In the event that a student does not attend all the practice sessions for justified reasons, you will undertake a review of both theoretical and practical practices in which you are asked concepts of matter seen during the development of practices.
Mark groupware, will be obtained from the correction of the papers presented, and tutorials conducted on such work.
