University ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Exploring Undergraduates' Experiences of a Two-Day Quantum Summer SchoolIntroduction Quantum mechanics and engineering. Perhaps a combination of disciplines sounds likean output from a machine selecting STEM fields at random, but one would be mistaken to thinkthis. Quantum mechanics is in fact foundational in engineering fields such as semiconductors,material science, and nanotechnology [1]. Quantum computing also receives quite a bit ofattention, as it is seen as a definite part of the future of computer science [2]-[5]. On quantumcomputing in particular, MIT writes that quantum computing is no longer an interest

Students also wanted instructorsto avoid assuming prior knowledge and to ensure that they clearly explain concepts from theground up. There was a strong desire for more collaborative problem-solving in class, withplenty of opportunities for students to ask questions and work together with peers.

To teach courses that meet those aims, engineering instructors also need to work towardthose same learning objectives in their own understanding, as well as learn to implement ourframework in their courses. In other words, faculty must work on the same understanding ofequity-centered engineering as students, if they are to cover such ideas in courses, and they mustalso develop equity-mindedness toward the classroom context, given their role as instructors.Ultimately, equity-centered engineering education requires a

Similarly, Summet and Bates [21] demonstrated how short sciencefiction stories, combined with structured assignments, could effectively engage students inethical reasoning and critical analysis, rendering abstract ethical challenges more tangible andrelatable.A key theme in the literature is the potential of science fiction to encourage interdisciplinaryexploration and critical thinking about technology’s broader implications.

Like how writing can be taught directly(“learning to write”) or used to enrich learning of other subjects (“writing to learn”), we coulddescribe use of simulation in education as “learning to simulate” versus “simulating to learn.”One could be concerned about early introduction of simulation in the curriculum because it ischallenging and requires specialist knowledge to be used productively and safely. Indeed, itseems that mechanical engineering students typically learn simulation through upper-level orgraduate courses dedicated to a specific
