Abstract: A new graduate program has been established at Penn State University in the area of in-vehicle, high-power, energy storage systems. A curriculum supporting the educational focus of batteries, ultra-capacitors, and flywheels is described. The need for broad partnership is discussed. GATE Penn State benefits that are provided to a broad range of existing and potential partners, as depicted in Figure 1, are also discussed. Unique to this centre is a hybrid and electric vehicle educational continuum that has been established, spanning from early elementary to graduate school. The GATE Center was established with funding from the US Department of Energy.
