successfully proves theconcept of harnessing energy from the vertical motion of an elevator, for it to be a commerciallyprofitable product, it needs more work. We hope that the result from this educational modelproposed in this paper would serve as a milestone, and help future innovators to use this conceptand technology to produce a profitable “real-world” elevator to generate energy. The skillslearned from this project were invaluable, as research, design, trial and error, as well as technicalwriting are all important experiences within engineering and physics. 9AcknowledgementThe authors would like to express their sincere thanks to Dr. Donald

examine not onlythe attitudes toward space exploration held by members of the general public, but also those heldby members of the millennial generation. A survey and analysis of these attitudes may help elicitpriorities in funding for national agencies like NASA as well as in other areas of science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). In turn, ways in which the results of suchsurveys and analyses can help to stimulate today’s millennial-aged population of young collegestudents to engage with space technology and policy regardless of their discipline of study iscrucial to scientific advancement and understanding.Scientific literacy is especially fundamental to young adults because these individuals will oneday become the policy makers

well prepared for its application in the modern physics class.2Last year at the ASEE annual conference Choi argued that the current modern physics coursesare woefully inadequate, “typical quantum physics courses we offer to engineering students arenot even adequate for the existing technologies that have brought us the Information Age, muchless in preparing our students for another big transformation we are currently witnessing.” 3 Weagree wholeheartedly and believe that by introducing elements of quantum computation into thecurriculum we can motivate students to learn something about quantum mechanics and provideenough background so that they have some ability to read the current literature. The ability toread any article about quantum
