Due to the global recognition of CPES as leading academic research and education organization in the area of power electronics, its professors are being invited to enhance learning in many organizations worldwide. Over the last ten years, CPES faculty have not only participated in numerous international conferences and meetings, but also delivered lectures, tutorials, and short courses to thousands of academics and researchers, engineers and industry practitioners, graduate and undergraduate students, on all five continents.

For example, during the second half of 2006, prof. T. M. Jahns (UW-Madison) presented a series of invited lectures to universities and engineering institutions in Australia, which addressed the future of power electronics and electric machines. The presentations were made at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, University of Technology – Sydney, University of Adelaide, University of Newcastle, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, and IEEE/Engineers Australia. These events culminated in Prof. Jahns’ delivery of an invited plenary session presentation to over 300 attendees at the International Conference on Electrical Machines & Systems in Nagasaki, Japan, in November 2006.

Professors D. Boroyevich and M. Xu were among ten professors from around the world that delivered a one-week short course on modern power electronics organized by Xi’an Jiaotong University in Xi’an, China, in August 2006. In what could have been the largest ever educational event focused solely on modern power electronics, the lectures attracted over 300 graduate students, young professors, teachers and engineers from Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Harbin Polytechnic University, Northwestern Polytechnic University, Polytechnic University of Xi'an, China Electric Power Research Institute, Institute of Electronics Automation, and other organizations from across China. The course covered the whole field of power electronics technology, from power electronic devices to circuit topologies, modeling, and control, as well as the latest trends in practical applications.
