Power Electronics And Motion Control Laboratory

The Power Electronics and Motion Control Laboratory (PE&MC) of the School of Engineering, San Francisco State University serves three senior electrical engineering courses: ENGR 455 Power Electronics, ENGR 447 Control Systems, and ENGR 306 Electromechanical Systems. There are many projects configured for these three courses, using various apparatus. Some of devices and systems are purchased and some of them are made in house, taking advantage of a Printed Circuit Board prototype machine, which was acquired through a NSF-ILI grant. We will introduce a few projects that demonstrate our design philosophy in setting up this Power Electronics and Motion Control (PE&MC) Laboratory: Hands on Experience and System Approach.
