Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Have knowledge about theories applied to gain an efficient
energy conversion using power electronic systems and apparatus
- Have knowledge about function and operation of power electronic
components
- Have knowledge about and understanding of how power electronic
systems, appliances and components are modelled
- Have knowledge about modelling tools
Skills
- Be able to apply knowledge about energy efficient power
electronic systems, apparatus and their components for
simulation
- Be able to evaluate the result of the modelling; to which
extent it is representative for the physical world
- Be able to relate to models at different levels of abstraction
and their applications
Competences
- Be able to apply academic knowledge and skills in the analysis
of efficient power electronic systems, apparatus and their
components to a practical problem and to process such a
problem
- Be able to engage in disciplinary and interdisciplinary
cooperation within power electronic systems

The programme is based on a combination of academic, problem
oriented and interdisciplinary approaches and organised based on
the following types of instruction that combine skills and
re-flection:
- lectures
- class teaching
- project work
- workshops
- exercises (individually and in groups)
- teacher feedback
- professional reflection
- portfolio work
