This practicum course on Application Engineering using Wide Bandgap (WBG) Semiconductors is a project-based, hands-on experience focused on real-world applications of SiC and GaN devices in power electronics, EVs, RF systems, and renewable energy. The first week covers mini-projects, including SiC/GaN device characterization, DC-DC converters, high-frequency inverters, EV fast chargers, and solar inverters. In the second week, students work in teams on a capstone project, selecting from high-efficiency EV drivetrain inverters, GaN-based 5G RF power amplifiers, or SiC-based bidirectional DC-DC converters. The course culminates in a final project showcase with industry expert feedback. Designed for senior undergraduates, graduate students, or industry professionals, this practicum provides cutting-edge skills in WBG semiconductor applications through hands-on labs, simulations, and prototype testing.
