Abstract |
Several degree programs world-widely have had problems in recruiting students in power electronics
related studies. At the same time need for power electronics specialists has increased steadily. The aim
of this article is to discuss this dilemma. Why have we ended up to this situation and what can we do
in order to improve the situation. The discussion tries to be general, i.e. applicable to a variety of
countries and institutions, but naturally examples from the authors own experience and environment
are a starting point. Topics discussed include imago matters, structure of the curricula, co-operation
etc. |
