There is an increasing realization within the US that industrial innovation, and investments in infrastructure and manufacturing technologies, are vital to the economic well being of the country. However, in most technology areas, the nation`s lead is eroding. Technologies which significantly enhance capabilities across a wide range of industrial sectors can be referred to as {open_quotes}Enabling Infrastructure Technologies{close_quotes} (EIT). EITs are often not visible from the vantage point of an end application, but need to be nurtured as they are frequently the key to successful growth in diverse industrial sectors. Power electronics is one such EIT. The National Committee on Power Electronics (NCOPE) was founded to promote development and application of PE technology. This study addresses the impact of PE on the economy, global competitiveness, and defense needs of the US; and prepares comprehensive recommendations for academia, industry, government, and other organizations for the advancement of national PE capabilities. NCOPE formed subcommittees to address five topics: awareness and understanding of PE in the US; PE and its impact on the economy; the role of government in promoting PE; government, university, and industry interaction; and future trends in PE user needs. Recommendations were aimed at all sectors listed above, and ranged from a need for more directed governmental recognition, to cross disciplinary funding; from industrial demand to academic and industrial development and research in the US to address this need.
