• The escalating demand for energy and the increasing concerns over the environment have called for clean and sustainable energydevelopment. Generating electricity from renewable and clean energy sources such as solar and wind power as well as drivinghighly efficient vehicles are promising solutions to the energy development strategies. There is a great need for electrical energystorage for the effective commercialization of renewable energy resources, load-leveling, and maintaining a constant supply ofelectrical energy. Another important factor related to the need of electric energy storage is transportation electrification. Theelectric energy storage, such as battery and ultracapacitor, is a major electric drivetrain component for vehicle electrification. Thispaper describes a university-industry partnership in the establishment of learning environment for advanced energy storage thatresponds to critical need through the creation of laboratory-based undergraduate courses in advanced energy storage systems,tailored with an emphasis on the vehicular and stationary sectors.
