public-key cryptosystems, such as RSA, could beefficiently broken. In these systems information is encrypted using a number N = pq, where pand q are two large primes. The information is decrypted with knowledge of p and q. Thesecurity of the encryption depends upon the extreme difficulty in factoring N. Shor’s algorithmstimulated the growth of the QC industry. Because this algorithm has a number theory part and aQC part, it takes a significant effort to understand and implement it without predefined functionson a simulator. One of the authors of this paper therefore worked on simulating Shor’s algorithmwith an undergraduate physics major during the summer. The student had no prior knowledge ofQC. We were able to factor 91=13×7 on the student PC

. We also asked them to engage with RECET by providing materialsfrom their organization, become involved in editorial/communications activities, help to createand organize tutorials, workshops, etc., join teams working to obtain additional resources,provide feedback to other content providers, and, most critically, recommend some next steps forRECET if we find the resources to scale it up. We then also had a Q&A period. We presented toan ECEDHA Online Summit in late fall 2021, addressed the ECEDHA annual meeting in threeseparate sessions in March 2022, and addressed each of the regional ECEDHA meetings in thesummer and fall of 2022. The attendees for each of these venues tend to be a bit different. Forexample, smaller schools can be

presentation was evaluated based on the quality of their project's delivery and theircollaboration in preparing it. While presentations are typically assessed based on their delivery,content, and effectiveness, this paper evaluated them based on the team's ability to work togetherand understand each other's contributions. Additionally, the Q&A portion of the presentationdemonstrated how well the team could handle unexpected questions.The final report served as a crucial gauge of the team's overall teamwork. Poor teamwork canmanifest in various ways, such as disjointed or disorganized sections resulting from inadequatecoordination among team members. Furthermore, if each member works independently, theremay be inconsistencies in language

Therefore, the student cohort registeredin this core course may be a good representation of post-pandemic students with various levels ofprior math/physics background. In addition, the recruited student body demonstratesdemographic diversity.The surveyed course consists of two sessions, each of which is supported by an ECE Ph.D.student serving as a teaching assistant. Each session includes a weekly recitation hour to coverkey knowledge points and homework problems, as well as three Q&A hours per week.Additionally, both the Department of ECE and the College Student Success Center offer freetutoring services to students taking this

experiment.The lab is a one-credit hour required course for our program that meets 3 hours per week. Itis a prerequisite course to another required junior-level course “Embedded Systems”. Thereis a maximum capacity of 14 students and there is a teaching assistant from the upper-classpopulation for each section. Students ideally work in teams of two.The class begins with a short lecture that guides students through the specifics of the day’sexperiments followed by Q & A.A week in advance of each class, students are provided with the lab handout that outlines theproblems to work on. They are expected to come to the lab prepared having done the “pre-lab” theoretical work that shows their designs based on the given specifications, the logiccircuit
