Mentorship

Since 2017, the PELS Mentorship Roundtable event has been facilitating access to distinguished leaders in power electronics research and industry.  Covering non-technical topics essential for professional growth, the Roundtable event is an intimate setting comprised of the mentor who leads the topical discussion and a small group of mentees.  The Roundtable event is open to all engineers at any stage of their career.  It is a signature event and has been reoccurring at most APEC and ECCE conferences in North America as well as internationally at multiple ECCE-Europe and ECCE-Asia conferences.
