Abstract:

Energy storage is pivotal in promoting the development of clean and renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind energy. The establishment and personnel training of the energy storage science and engineering major provide solid support for the rapid development of the energy storage industry. This is crucial in achieving the "dual carbon" goals. Since Xi'an Jiaotong University launched the first undergraduate major in energy storage science and engineering in 2020, more than 60 universities have since followed suit. This rapid development trend clearly indicates that the establishment and personnel training of this major are experiencing a vigorous development stage. However, the energy storage science and engineering major encompasses knowledge systems from multiple disciplines such as power engineering, engineering thermophysics, electrical engineering, and materials science and engineering. This diversity brings certain difficulties to the major's establishment and personnel training. Despite several years of development, the professional establishment and personnel training model for this major are still under continuous exploration and improvement. Moreover, different universities have distinct curriculum systems and personnel training directions, each presenting its own characteristics. This article provides an overview of the curriculum system construction, personnel training direction setting, and energy storage teaching resources and platform construction in various universities offering the energy storage science and engineering major. It also consolidates experiences and ideas from different universities regarding personnel training in energy storage, providing a reference for others looking to establish and train personnel in this major.

Key words: major construction, personnel training, energy storage science and engineering
