engineeringcourses and we use a scaffolding approach to build on their prior knowledge and introduce newtopics.We introduce quantum mechanics by discussing Mermin’s quantum device. This approach hasbeen described previously.[10] In the winter term of 2019 students developed an additionalsimulation, one that reproduced the results of Mermin’s quantum device.Simulation of an Entangled State—the Measurement ProblemSuppose that we have a system consisting of two qubits one is Alice’s and one is Bob’s. Each 1 0qubit can be in the state 0 =   or the state 1 =   . The basis states are formed by taking the 0 1Kronecker tensor product, ⊗ , of the individual basis

average number of years of education of itspopulation is 9.8 years, while in Chiapas, the average is only 6.7 years. This difference meansthat Nuevo Leon is above the mandatory number of years of education that is required in Mexicofor each person to complete (nine years representing the completion of middle school). On theother hand, Chiapas is well below the number of years necessary. The average in both states isexpected to increase in the future. Beginning in May 2019, the number of mandatory years ofeducation in Mexico has risen to 12 years (completion of high school).That Chiapas students have better perceptions of physics than the Nuevo Leon students could berelated to the differences in wealth and education in these two states.
