brought to the discussion, including extracurricularexperiences, or even the consistency of measurements in laboratory classes.Similar discussions can examine design decisions and relate directly to material in senior designclasses. Consider an inexperienced engineer who understands that the life safety provisions ofAISC and ACI design specifications rigidly represent “safety of the public.” Without a fullunderstanding of load paths, load redistribution, and assumptions in approximate analysis thisengineer may not understand why a supervisor decides that a slightly overstressed member (persimplified design) is acceptable. The inexperienced engineer may feel that they are being askedto risk public safety, or alternatively extrapolate this

manifestation, theEngineering Design course is part of a core 1st year module on Engineering Practice, withChemical Engineering Laboratories and MATLAB contributing the other two components.Engineering Design is one of the very first courses that students engage with and acts as auseful means to introduce them to the actual work of a professional chemical engineer. Theinitial intention of the design project was to introduce students to engineering conventions andprocedures that can be carried forward into subsequent design and later projects [5]. This1primary intention has not changed over the years with identifying and solving a chemicalengineering design problem at the heart of the course (Ibid.). However, there have been certainshifts in terms of

Throughout calendar year 2020, our conventional middle school and high school outreachactivities were constrained by local school districts shifting to fully remote instruction due to theCOVID-19 pandemic. As it was impractical to ship activity materials to each student, we adaptedour off-campus outreach to a remote format by presenting virtually from a teaching laboratory atthe University of Michigan. We leveraged the remote teaching platforms in use at each school topresent virtual lessons with live-streamed demonstrations while teachers and students

Ratherthan a separate laboratory section, some lecture time will be allocated for students to work ontheir code in interdisciplinary teams. These teams will also be assigned joint exercises to becompleted outside of class.The outline of our paper is as follows. The next section provides the context, motivation, andgoals for the courses. The following section details the content for the proposed courses inquantum computing. An innovation in the courses, the development of a Python-based quantumcomputer simulator, is then detailed, followed by a discussion of learning outcomes and selectedundergraduate research projects.2

]. Finding an outreach program related to experimental work is quite rare, andit is even more rare to find one related specifically to engineering. One program, Paper toPlastics (P2P), provides opportunities for students to learn laboratory techniques in chemistryand biology [8], and several programs offer demonstrations of experiments for K-12 outreachpurposes [9].Similarly motivated by the forced online implementation of education brought on by COVID-19,several other universities also adapted or created content to provide engineering outreachexperiences in the online format. Such programs included opportunities for offering creativesolutions to realistic engineering challenges [10-11], hands-on activities demonstrating topics ina particular
