Graduate Automotive Technology
Education Center
Advanced Energy Storage Center
Program Overview
The objective of the Penn State GATE Center is to
help build a workforce of highly-trained automotive
engineers to advance energy storage technologies for
clean, ultra fuel-efficient vehicles.
Organization of the GATE Center
To achieve this goal, the GATE Center coordinates
laboratory and training resources in the three areas of
in-vehicle, high-power energy storage; batteries,
flywheels, and ultra-capacitors. Penn State has both
breadth and depth in educating undergraduate and
graduate students in all three of these areas. The GATE
Center provides focus and organization to these
educational activities into a unified and clearly
identifiable thrust area. This thrust area integrates
key elements of different technologies in a
complementary manner, providing students with both the
tools and the experience necessary to support industry
in developing highly-efficient and cost-effective,
in-vehicle, high-power energy storage components and
strategies. |
