It is widely applied not only in the economic field, but also in social life. In the 21st century, our world will become an information and intelligence society. It is also the critical period for the realization of China's modernization. China needs enough qualified professionals in electronic information science. Professionals in all the other specialities need to be equiped with the required knowledge and skills of electronic information science and technology. So the knowledge of the professionals specializing in electronics needs to be renewed, too. The paper discusses how China's higher electronics education (HEE) will reform and develops some tentative ideas and measures of HEE in the 21st century in China; it also discusses training high quality applied personnel and points out how these may serve the economic construction and social development better.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":119615,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of SOUTHEASTCON '94","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133821254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method combines the shape design sensitivity, boundary element method and the steepest descent algorithm. The shape design sensitivity formula, the total derivative of the objective function with respect to the design variable, is derived by using the implicit differentiation method and the direct 2-D/3-D boundary element method. The shape design sensitivity is used as the gradient of the objective function in the steepest descent algorithm. The proposed method is applied to the optimum shape design of tie electrostatic/magnetostatic devices in 2-D and 3-D. It is shown, through the numerical examples, that the optimum shapes are easily found with a reasonable number of iterations by the proposed method.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":119615,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of SOUTHEASTCON '94","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117128693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
