5. Moderating the power laboratory in Leo 305 in order to prepare the new advanced experiments for our students. A laboratory equipment budget of about $35,000 was sponsored by the ECE department as major equipment’s budget prepared to be ordered and then build different testbed stations. These testbed stations served both undergraduate and graduate students in such a way to promote their skills to the experimental level of verifications. Three power electronics and machine drive stations were developed to implement 3-different experiments.  Each testbed station involved two main power sections (power electronics and machine drive boards) and one control section (dSPACE development controller)
