ABSTRACT

Against the backdrop of the "Carbon Neutrality" goal and the digital transformation of the energy sector, modern power electronics technology is rapidly evolving toward higher switching frequencies, greater integration, and enhanced intelligence. Addressing persistent challenges in traditional curricula — such as outdated knowledge structures, insufficient interdisciplinary integration, and inadequate cultivation of innovative capabilities, this study proposes a reconstruction scheme for an "AI+" modern power electronics curriculum system. Utilizing a "vertically tiered and horizontally integrated" curricular framework, artificial intelligence methodologies are systematically embedded into teaching modules encompassing device characterization, topology optimization, control strategy design, and engineering case studies. Furthermore, by leveraging project-based learning (PBL), virtual-real fused experimentation, and innovation-driven practical activities, a progressive competency development pathway is established, bridging "foundational theory, comprehensive application, and innovative practice". Teaching practice demonstrates that this pedagogical model significantly enhances students' ability to solve complex engineering problems and fosters interdisciplinary innovative thinking.
