The Graduate Automotive Technology Education (GATE) Program at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) was established in October 1998 pursuant to an award from the U.S. Department of Energy (U.S. DOE). The focus area of the Penn State GATE Program is advanced energy storage systems for electric and hybrid vehicles. Major vehicle manufacturers have identified three technologies for in-vehicle, high-power electrical energy storage: batteries, flywheels, and ultra-capacitors. Recently, hydraulic-pneumatic energy storage for hybrid vehicles has received some attention and development especially for heavy vehicles. During the first five years of the Penn State GATE Program, the majority of effort was directed toward recruiting students and sponsors and developing energy storage curriculum of significant breadth and depth. The Penn State GATE curriculum has been offered to all students within the College of Engineering and other colleges meeting the prerequisites. Students completing the Penn State GATE Curriculum have been issued a GATE Certificate.
