Design modern switched-mode power converters; create high-performance control loops around power converters; understand efficiency, power density and cost trade-offs
By 2030, 80% of all electrical energy will be processed by power electronics. Professional advantages continue to grow for technical engineers who understand the fundamental principles and technical requirements of modern power conversion systems. This specialization covers design-oriented analysis, modeling and simulation techniques leading to practical engineering of high-performance power electronics systems.
The University of Colorado Boulder is one of only 35 U.S. public research institutions in the Association of American Universities (AAU), a group of institutions recognized as America’s leading research universities.
Public good, in the context of a top-tier comprehensive university, includes research, teaching and service by which we create knowledge for and with the public. We engage with problems that affect the public, and we enable each generation of citizens to remake our democracy by equipping them with skills of critical reasoning and analysis, and a broad sense of civic obligation to the state, the nation, and the world.
