To address this, futureiterations of the camp should integrate more practical, skill-focused instruction earlier in theprogram. Collaborating with the programming course to incorporate instruction on programmingand Arduino could make the BB84 QKD activity more interactive and less reliant onpre-assembled tools. This change would empower students to engage with the materials moredeeply and confidently. Introducing small-group collaborations or gamified elements could alsoincrease and enhance the collaboration among students. Finally, as this was my first experienceteaching a workshop of this kind

At our institution,Canvas is used as the LMS. It is a relatively simple procedure to integrate MOM into a Canvascourse and it only has to be done once per semester per course. Once integrated, Canvas exportsthe student list to MOM and can be seen in the MOM gradebook. The integration can be set upso that homework deadlines are set up in Canvas and exported to MOM. One benefit of theintegration is that MOM exports the grades to the Canvas gradebook. Therefore, students andinstructors can see the grades in Canvas. While only the grades are exported to Canvas,instructors can see student answers

Addressing issues related to ethics andequity in engineering education or practice requires integrating ethics and equity discussionsmore consistently across engineering curricula and workplace practices to foster a culture ofcontinuous ethical awareness and social responsibility. Also, encouraging engineering students toconnect with society and education beyond engineering is an important path to ethicaldevelopment.Keywords
