Announcements

March 2021: A Pangolin Awareness mini-course was added under Courses. This is not an engineering course, but it is to let you know about an important environmental cause. In 2021, Prof. Kim will donate 100% of YouTube Ad revenue to an environmental conservation charity (Pangolin Crisis Fund organized by Wildlife Conservation Network). It’s one small thing we can do to conserve our environment and combat climate change.

February 2021: The Introduction to Power Electronics course is now freely available to everyone without the need to make an account. Happy learning!
