Abstract:

Energy storage technology is the hub and core technology of new power system development. The Ministry of Education and National Development and Reform Commission actively promote the energy storage-related talent cultivation system reform and promote the construction of the major of "Energy Storage Science and Engineering" to adapt to the energy system reform. Energy storage science and engineering is an "Emerging Engineering Education" major with exceptional requirements for integrating industry and education, in which the multidisciplinary system is complicated and closely connected to the industry. Since the start of preparation in 2019, the major and discipline of Energy Storage Science and Engineering at North China Electric Power University have been under construction for four years. The classes of 2019, 2020, and 2021 have more than 340 undergraduate students enrolled, which makes them the major's current largest undergraduate education scale. Some experience has been accumulated in related majors, discipline construction, and student training. This study focuses on constructing the undergraduate cultivation process of Energy Storage Science and Engineering, and it introduces the construction of its discipline and major, the orientation, and features of the curriculum system. The study also evaluates the role of the tutorial system in the cultivation process. This "Emerging Engineering Education" major's overall plan and training methods are comprehensively summarized from the undergraduate education of Energy Storage Science and Engineering. The main strategies and methods adopted in the undergraduate training process of this major are analyzed.

Key words: energy storage science and engineering, cultivation process, emerging engineering education, undergraduate education
