On the other hand, compared with past, owing to the increasing courses for the students, teaching time of every course is reduced. These areas include, but are not limited to, control systems, electromagnetics, semiconductor devices, electric machinery and digital signal processing. Teaching a course in power electronics and electric drive system is, however, challenging, since the field is quite broad and includes fundamentals from a wide variety of areas of engineering. The power electronics and electric drive system is one of the most important fundamental courses for undergraduate student of electrical engineering and automation major. Key wordsEducation technology, power electronics, electric drive system, MATLAB/SIMULINK, PSPICE
The examples can be implemented in class and in class projects or undergraduate design projects. The performance of various designs are tested by plotting the current, voltage, speed response and other waveforms using the graphics postprocessor Probe and MATLAB workspace. The RCD snubber circuit, DC/AC three-phase inverter circuit and the vector control system of induction motor are been designed and analyzed using PSPICE and MATLAB/SIMULINK respectively. In this paper, MATLAB /SIMULINK and PSPICE are used to deepen the undergraduate students understanding of power electronics and electric drive system.
