Abstract

In this paper, the learning in switch-mode power converter design based on the MATLAB/SIMULINK dynamic behavior modeling is proposed. This devised behavior models help students to design, tune and verify the controller's parameters in frequency domain by using MATLAB tool of 'sisitool' ('bode'). To speed up the learning process, the projectoriented learning approach and behavior model simulations are used to redesign the power converter design course in Lunghwa University of Science and Technology. In order to qualify and extend the students' performance, the continuous assessment approach with real-time evaluation feedbacks is used to modulate the teaching pace and direction in good time. In addition to formal midterm and final examinations, a final project is conducted in proper timing during classes to enhance students' learning achievements. Finally, a comprehensive survey is carried out to collect students' opinions for improving and evaluating the course design. Positive feedbacks from the midterm and final examinations, the questionnaires, and the answers to the teacher's quizzes show that the presented pedagogy is extremely effective in learning switch-mode power converter design.
