teaching Quantum Mechanics to Engineering Students was discussed in lastyear's Conference in Seattle, WA, so in this present research the author has made a survey ofhow this material was perceived by senior year Electronics Engineering Technology students. Itwas taught to a class of 22 students who took their 2nd Physics class, in their senior year. Theoutcomes analysis show that for most advanced or even average students majoring in ElectricalEngineering programs, the subject is very consumable and exciting and understandable so longas the calculus by which the equation is solved is kept at minimal level.It was also thought that the possibility of providing a 2 credit hours course entitled “BasicQuantum Mechanics “, or could be given any other

But since nearly everyonerecognizes the economic need to produce more graduates in science, technology, engineering,and math, an alternative to cutting Physics programs entirely was desired. Distance learningtechnology seemed like a reasonable solution to this dilemma. The governor agreed to relaxsome of the minimums if institutions across the state would collaborate on the delivery of low-enrollment courses in these small, costly programs, which in the long term would reduce thenumber of faculty members needed at each institution and thereby reduce the cost to deliver the

In July of 2016 the White House released a report called theNational Strategic Computing Initiative2 which is a call to “maximize the benefits of highperformance computing (HPC) research, development, and deployment.” These reports andothers indicate the need for increased computational power and technological training for scienceand engineering research and innovation and for national security. The increased use of HPC willrequire training more scientists and engineers to appropriately use HPC in their work and moregenerally in deploying and using cyberinfrastructure (CI
