Power Electronics Curriculum

The five CPES universities have established a power electronics systems curriculum that includes courses in power electronics packaging, and systems design and integration. Courses are updated continually to reflect ongoing CPES advances. The curriculum includes more than 80 undergraduate and graduate courses that are cross listed at all five universities. This enables all five universities to strengthen their undergraduate and M.S. and Ph.D. programs. An option is available for undergraduates to specialize in power electronics at Virginia Tech, Rensselaer and the University of Puerto Rico - Mayagüez. The new programs access off-campus courses via distance learning, graduate student exchange, faculty exchange, and a collaborative research program.
