students are looking to develop professional skills such asrelationship-building, communication, and time management. While these skills were present inmany of the initial goals, the reflections later in the semester show recognition of the importanceof growing these skills. Additionally, an increase of awareness of environmental justice wasnoted along with reflections on how to carry what they learned into future work. Table 2 showssamples from student reflections that align with these themes.Table 2.

academic and professional interests whilebuilding strong peer and external stakeholder networks. This concept provides support for careerdevelopment through stakeholder involvement [22]. Students are given opportunities to connectwith professionals from the field. The program’s practical and simple design offers a replicablemodel for other institutions. By addressing challenges and expanding on its strengths,universities can ensure graduate education prepares students for both academic excellence andcareer advancement.AcknowledgementsThis work is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1954946.

Inaddition to eight questions about students’ background and their QC learning experience, thepre-survey (shown in Table 2) includes five knowledge test questions, such as “Which of thefollowing can form a universal set of quantum gates?”. The five-point attitude questionnaire,adapted from Hanrahan et al. [42]’s work, consists of seven items that explore students’self-efficacy and identity related to QC. The post-survey retains the knowledge test and attitudequestionnaire from the pre-survey and adds a seven-item engagement and usability questionnaire,adapted from Brooke [43]’s study (shown in Table 3). It also includes three open-ended questions,such as “How did the Spin-Quantum Gate Lab aid your understanding of quantum computingconcepts?” and
