This requires knowledge of FieldProgrammable Gate Array (FPGA) technology for processing the data [8], [9] as well asexpertise in designing CMOS circuits operating at cryogenic temperatures for implementing low-noise electronics that interface with quantum processors [10], [11], [12]. A review of theanticipated engineering positions needed in the quantum technology market reveals that most ofthe openings will be for ‘quantum-aware engineer[s]’ and ‘non-quantum engineer[s] employed ina quantum company’ [13].

educators of common pitfalls and better approaches forMohr’s circle instruction. However, most of the literature is focused on either mechanics orstructural engineering courses, with little or no references concerning the education of Mohr’scircle in geotechnical engineering courses. While the concept of Mohr’s circle is notfundamentally different in geotechnical applications when compared to structural or mechanicsapplications, it still presents challenges for many learners throughout their undergraduateeducation. These challenges include the differences in sign conventions for geotechnicalapplications, the continued complexity of the topic, and that the students have not mastered theconcept from the previous course(s).A phenomenographic analysis

This theory outlines coping strategies thatplay a critical role in understanding an individual’s response to a transition and determining whatresources or structures could be designed to support a particular transition better. To categorizecoping strategies that would be applicable regardless of the transition or where an individual waswithin the transition, Schlossberg defined the 4 S system: situation

For each module, the regular weeklycourse routine is: course instructor(s) introduces a fundamental concept in one or more of thecore topics (Materials Science, Graphics Design, Computing, Engineering Design, Practice &Profession) along with a corresponding activity or related milestone of a design projectundertaken by all students, these happen in 3 hours of lectures each week Then, in each 3-houronline lab, one of the 11 IAIs gathers a maximum of 80 students

Isabel noted that addressingmarginalizing behaviors done by peers is out of her control, but she felt that she controls herability to study and remain focused on her end-goal of graduating with an engineering degree.Isabel believed that the deficit perspectives of Black and Brown students were part of everydaylife, something that they would need to get used to while at college, and especially throughouttheir career. Our theme of “Marginalization is just part of Life” also aligned with findingsreported by Wolfe et al. [10]. For example, in Wolfe et al.’s work, exclusion based on race

Students noted that this factor led to higher levels ofengagement and academic success, while providing the necessary opportunities to build andsustain relationships with peers. Attending class physically helped curb the negative and damagingeffects of isolation and served boost their overall socioemotional health. Future studies willcontinue to examine the long-term effects of learning in isolation, how students learned to copeduring difficult circumstances, and how faculty members work to accommodate student learningneeds.REFERENCES[1] Russell, S.

A recent (2018-19) overhaul of the THORS library standardizedthe course length to approximately 2-3 hours of material. This enabled students to reasonablycomplete an entire course in one week. Starting in 2019, students were assigned weekly coursesfor the first half of the semester and then were able to “Choose their own” curriculum of sevenTHORS courses for the second half of the semester.
