IEEE Power Electronics Magazine - September 2017 - 86

chemical safety and expect howls of
protest when I tell them that no food
will be allowed in the lab and that all
beverages must have a secure cover.
Another of my concerns is optical
safety. The chosen LED modules are
quite bright, and they will receive
strong instructions not to tamper with
the diffuser. And, yes, they will have to
know, without looking around, the
location of the fire extinguisher.
Teaching this class is a big step
and a big experiment for me. I have
given many papers and seminars. I
particularly enjoy teaching seminars,
such as those I have presented at the
IEEE Applied Power Electronics
Conference and Exposition. However,
that is quite a different experience
than giving weekly lectures and spend-

ing hours a week in a teaching laboratory. It will be interesting to see the
results of the faculty evaluation that
the students complete at the end of
the semester.
I am excited about this opportunity,
and I am looking forward to helping
prepare this group of students to be
the best engineers they can be. I ask
for your well wishes as I launch into
this new adventure. The semester
ends in December, just about the time
my column for the March 2018 issue
of this magazine will be due to the editor. So, next March, look to this space
for my trip report on this adventure.
