microphones will never be muted or turned OFF!

Every hourly break had many attendees eager to ask
additional questions and take photos?
Very happy crowd indeed and the teacher too!

5. 5
This was the most engaged group I had consisting of
several attendees with doctorates in Power
Electronics and others with long and extensive
industrial experience. Young undergraduate and
graduate Power Electronics students of Professor
Smedley at UC Irvine as well as my Caltech
undergraduate students of 30 years ago
complemented the experience.
Each received a Certificate: pictured Dr. Logoglu from
Turkey company Aselsan!
Special mention of 4 engineers from Continental
Automotive from Romania and Father & Son team
from Germany and Father & Daughter team from India.

6. 6
Lunch breaks in front of the Atrium were blessed with
the warm California sunshine, while the drinks were
served I the Atrium of CaliT2 Innovation center every
hour.

7. 7
Grand finale
After four days of intensive learning finally relaxation
with a cake and drinks for a friendly chat in the Atrium
in front of the Lecture Hall.
It is yet to be established why everyone is so happy
and smiling: because it is over after four days or
everyone genuinely enjoyed the learning experience?
Jury is out!
