Learn the basic building-blocks of electro-magnetic circuits (winding, core, air-gap, etc.) and to assemble them into physical models of components such as transformers and solenoids. Their realistic behavior, like saturation, core-loss and back-EMF, is well suited for mechatronic system design analysis.

Coordinate thermal and functional design aspects of power electronic circuits. Size passive heat mitigation for each component and the whole enclosure, based on the power dissipation profile of all parts during simulated operation. Design active (Peltier) temperature regulation systems.

Understand the fundamental characteristics of LEDs, lamps and other lighting components and their common operating methods. Design current control circuits with analog or PWM dimming for LEDs, or perform system-level analysis of fuse and wire sizes, driven by lamp cold-filament in-rush currents.

Learn motor & drive system concepts, from basic electro-mechanical energy conversion to advanced DQ control, space vector modulation, encoders and power electronics. Collaborate with experts in FEA-based machine design, sensors, algorithms and mechatronics to assess integrated system performance.

Understand power electronics, from basic converters to “digital-power” PMICs. Analyze design margins for saturation, stability and thermals. Collaborate with other experts on batteries, solar panels, LEDs, motors, etc. for successful integrated system design.
