Abstract:

In the context of the global energy transition and the strategy for carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, cultivating energy storage professionals is crucial for ensuring future national energy security and advancing new energy storage technologies. As an emerging interdisciplinary field, energy storage science and engineering plays a key role in developing high-level professionals capable of driving technological and industrial advancements. Since 2020, 84 universities in China have established energy storage science and engineering as a major. However, talent cultivation in this field remains in an exploratory phase, particularly in the development of experimental teaching methods. This discipline integrates knowledge from diverse fields, including chemical engineering, electrical engineering, materials science, management science, and energy and power engineering. Effectively incorporating these disciplines into practical teaching poses a significant challenge in energy storage education. In response to the strong demand and rapid evolution of the energy storage industry, there is an urgent need to develop a practical experimental teaching system that aligns with industrial advancements and meets sectoral requirements. Such a system would accelerate the training of top-tier, innovative professionals equipped with interdisciplinary knowledge, technical expertise, and practical skills. Leveraging Tianjin University's strengths in "Emerging Engineering Education" initiatives and the superior resources of the National Industry-Education Platform for Energy Storage (Tianjin University), this paper proposes a three-tiered, four-stage experimental teaching system based on the energy storage science and engineering major at Tianjin University. This innovative system emphasizes interdisciplinary integration, the synergy between scientific principles and educational practices, and active collaboration between academia and industry. It incorporates multidisciplinary knowledge through a structured sequence of foundational experiments, specialized experiments, project-based learning, and comprehensive capstone projects. These approaches aim not only to enhance the quality of talent cultivation but also to provide a scalable model for broader adoption in the energy storage sector.
