Electronics Power Electronics Book with DIY Projects

AI Thread Summary
Recent Electrical Engineering graduates specializing in Power Systems are seeking DIY project ideas to enhance their resumes with hands-on experience in Power Electronics. Recommended projects include building speed controllers for e-bikes, e-skateboards, or e-scooters, which not only demonstrate motor control skills but also result in practical, usable products. Additionally, there is a consideration of undertaking projects related to high power audio amplifiers, although the focus remains on power electronics to align with the graduate's specialization. It is suggested that entry-level positions may not require highly specific expertise, allowing for a broader range of project experiences to be relevant in job applications.

I am a recent Electrical Engineering grad specializing in Power Systems. Are there any books with DIY projects relating to Power Electronics? I would like to do some projects that I will be able to put on my resume so employers will see that I have hands-on experience.

Does it have to be a book? There's a lot of articles on the net about building your own e-bike, e-skateboard, or e-scooter. If you design and build the speed controller yourself it's a good way to demonstrate skills in motor controls. Plus it's a fun project and you get something useful out of it.
 
That's true, I'll look into some projects I can find online. Also, since I specialized in Power Systems, would it be good for me to do some projects relating to high power audio amplifiers? Or should I stick to power electronics projects since it relates to my specialization. Although I didnt specialize in microelectronics, I would hope that entry-level positions wouldn't be too specific when hiring potential candidates.
