About
Driss Yousfi is a leading figure in electrical engineering education and motor drive systems, with a career dedicated to bridging theory and hands-on practice. His primary research areas include permanent magnet (PM) motor drives, power electronics, and project-based learning (PBL) in engineering curricula. A standout contribution is his pioneering work on designing a PM motor drive course integrated with a DSP-based robot traction system laboratory, which has garnered 9 citations. This work, stemming from a North Africa/Europe collaboration, revolutionized how students engage with complex motor drive concepts by immersing them in a real-world project of significant depth and scale. Yousfi also spearheaded a landmark educational initiative, documented in a 2008 paper (3 citations), that introduced a project-based learning framework for a new electrical engineering program in Morocco. By adapting European pedagogical models to the local context, he enabled students to acquire practical, hands-on skills through mobile robot projects. His efforts underscore a commitment to modernizing engineering education in North Africa, fostering international collaboration, and equipping the next generation of engineers with industry-relevant expertise.
