Exchange Programs

Graduate Student Exchange Program

Students majoring in electrical engineering may attend classes at all five CPES universities, with credits for classes accepted by each student's home institution. This program provides students with a broader background and allows them to take courses not offered at their home institutions. The program is designed to maximize interaction among graduate students, provide opportunities for students to experience different learning environments, and expose Masters-level students from one of the CPES campuses to the possibilities of pursuing a Ph.D. at another campus.

Faculty and Post-Doctoral Exchange Program

Similar to the faculty exchange program, the visiting faculty and post-doctoral exchange program is designed to provide collaborative opportunities with other institutions that have appropriate expertise and a unique approach to power electronics technology. This program is open to all individuals and is not restricted to the five CPES universities. As in the Faculty Exchange Program, participants teach power electronics courses and participate in CPES research activities.
