Dan/Rich/Dick- My two pence: I agree, too, that a module of some basic power electronics courses could be a product safety lesson. We have hired new college graduates that had little inkling of what was of concern for product safety; often times they have a modicum of intuitive feel for products unsafe, but it takes a while to breed in the safety sense that we so often take for granted. I nominate Surrey-on-Trent Mines Engineer Technical College to spawn the first course. I'll call the headmaster and put a bug in his bum for the idea.
