Needs of Industry to PE Curriculum in Japan

• Graduate students majoring PE are required to
  have
  
• 1) Full understandings of power conversion,
• leading to system design
• 2) Experience of design, implementation and
  testing
  
• of a power electronic system
• Industry prefers experiment-oriented study
  (real world) to a simulation-oriented study
  (virtual world).
  
• Job opportunities for PE students very good
• Automobile industry is recruiting PE Students
