The MC “Power Electronics” is one of five Micro Credentials (offered by different partners) that together form a Micro Degree coordinated by TU Graz LLL. Power electronics (PE) systems have become prevalent in modern-day technology, being found in household appliances (like induction cookers, battery chargers, vacuum cleaners, etc), automotive and traction, medical equipment, renewable energy, industrial applications, defence and aerospace, and utility systems.

Engineers/technicians familiar with the basic ideas and technical specifications of current power conversion systems continue to experience professional advantages as the world leverages green energy resources and incorporates decarbonisation technologies in both public and private sectors. 

In addition, the field of power electronics has been contributing to global technological advancements, which generate income through human capital and chances for self-employment. Therefore, meeting the workforce demand in PE will contribute significantly to the national economic and social development of Austria, and the European Union at large.

The technical knowledge and skill sets integrated into this course will equip an individual with the expertise required in the use of power electronic systems to shape the future for sustainable green technology.
