Each institution was investigated individually,beginning with a review of course and program catalogs. Course catalogs were searched for anycourses with titles or descriptions containing the the word “quantum.” For each course meetingthis criterion, we recorded the title, description, course number, prerequisite course(s),department(s) associated

The ACSE model draws heavily fromAkoto (1992)’s theoretical framework for ACE which is built on six key elements: cultural centering,identity restoration, a focus on nation building, holistic development, liberation and empowerment, andthe perpetuation of African values. The ACSE model applies the elements above in the context of STEMeducation. The initial key ACSE model features, according toe Bailey and Bowens (2024) were: ● Ethnically-matched instructors ● Interactive and collaborative learning ● STEM curriculum inclusive of contributions made by people of African descent ● African-centered teaching strategies - methods based on cognitive and epistemological
