Abstract:

With the announcement of the "Energy Storage Technology Professional Discipline Development Action Plan (2020—2024)," 26 universities across the country have set up an undergraduate major in "Energy Storage Science and Engineering." Energy storage science and engineering is a multidisciplinary and deeply intersecting major involving many fields, such as materials, electrochemistry, and engineering thermophysics. Therefore, the undergraduate professional knowledge system and curriculum design are crucial, especially the setting of the core courses. Considering the energy storage science and engineering curriculum of several representative universities, combining the core courses in related traditional majors, and considering national needs and the degree of professional knowledge coverage in the discipline, it is recommended to select energy storage materials, engineering thermodynamics, engineering mechanics, heat and mass transfer, electrical and electronic technology, and control theory as the core courses of the undergraduate major in energy storage science and engineering. The training objectives and curriculum contents are also being analyzed, hoping to provide a reference for constructing the core curriculum in the energy storage science and engineering major.
