| Electronic Circuits |
| Power Semiconductors |
| Team projects |
Teaching activities at Illinois:
ECE 210, Analog Systems; required undergraduate course introducing circuits and linear system theory.
ECE 342, Electronic Circuits; the undergraduate class for transistor-level design of discrete and integrated circuits.
ECE 336, Advanced Electric Machinery; the grad/undergrad class for advanced topics in machinery- especially drive circuits and dynamic simulation
ECE 364, Power Electronics; The grad/undergrad course that follows ECE 342 for introducing power electronics.
ECE 369 (469), Power Electronics Lab; The grad/undergrad course for laboratory experience with power electronics.
ECE 333 (431), Electric Machinery; This senior level/beginning grad course involves the fundamentals of electric machinery from large synchronous generators to the small 'MEMS' machines. This year, we are developed many new experiments for the lab component of the course.
ECE 398RES, Renewable Energy Systems; This is a new course offered in Spring 2006. It will cover all major renewable energy sources, focusing mainly on wind, solar, and some fuel cell systems. It includes the important economic factors as part of the basic engineering approach.
ECE 498PC, Special Problems (Graduate); Guided self-study courses including Electric Drives and Power Semiconductor Devices.
ECE 568, Modeling and Control of Electromechanical Systems (Graduate); Dynamic modeling and control of electric actuators and machines using power electronics-based techniques.
ECE 598PLC, Advanced Topics in Power Electronics (Graduate); Detailed analysis of power converter concepts from modeling, to control, to design. Includes class project that requires students to call on recent literature.
