While not all students will have been exposed to OOPprior to the first quantum computing course, the faculty already have developed a framework fora simulator and will guide the students to write the code for selected methods. Faculty will alsoprovide a basic introduction to the OOP features of the Python programming language. Thestudents will work in interdisciplinary teams, where the CS students will be helpful in guidingtheir peers in this area. Thus, previous knowledge of OOP will not be necessary. Otherprogramming possibilities that will enhance student learning include writing their own tensorproduct function for combining vector spaces instead of using the NumPy function

First, the College of Engineering policy requires it, and, second,it emphasizes the importance of the course. Currently, grades are based on student performanceon four assignments (10-points each) and three examinations (20-points each). The assignmentsare discussed in more detail below.

Project report writing targeting various readers is emphasized inthe phrase “Excellent verbal and writing skills to communicate effectively with clients, fieldengineers, peers, and management”, which is seen in many requests this department receivesfrom industry, seeking graduates in EE and COE for employment.While monthly reports enhance students’ writing skills, they may reveal or avoid hidden agendasor collusion between a faculty and a project group.

Parents instill in theirchildren habits and methods for remembering that help propagate important aspects of theirculture. Indeed, the “I” often internalizes values and beliefs from important others, including notonly parents but also friends and mentors [15], [18]. As Thorne puts it, “families and friendscollude in self-making” [16], [10].Life stories can also be influenced by more intentional interventions. Studies have shown thatpeople who write their life stories can experience an increase in self‐esteem [17], improvedmental health and well-being [18], [19], and a greater sense of agency and control over their lives[20].

Overall, the major observations from thisREU were that: given the right environment, i.e. niche, students with ADHD can thrive;engineering research can be a stimulating and ideal environment for students with ADHD; andthe opportunity to learn and interact with peers with ADHD can provide a rich and meaningfulexperience and help their confidence and ability as learners. It was noted that the educationsystem needs to move from the idea of ‘accommodating’ for some, to differentiating for all.Dissemination of these impactful

We also make use of evaluations byScrum Leaders which are done for every sprint, i.e., every two weeks. Students also get to doself- and peer-evaluation of teamwork, based on the CATME framework [8].Our rubrics are based on a 4-level performance scale: Beginning (1), Developing (2), Proficient(3), and Exemplary (4).

The foundation behind such advice is to solicit and value multipleperspectives, which can help identify alternative pathways and options for the mentee[17]. Such feedback can come in informal, short sessions or longer, more formalizedmeetings. Collectively, these newer models of mentoring include “multiple ‘mentoringpartners’ in non-hierarchical, collaborative, cross-cultural partnerships to address specificareas of faculty activity” [17]. Women and faculty with underrepresented identities mayespecially benefit from peer-mentoring and cross-mentoring [18].

Does increased engagement result in higher performance on ethics assessments? 3. Is a blended approach of independent microlearning and an in-class team case study effective in bridging the lower order of memorizing ethical terms to applying ethical principles to a dilemma?The question on engagement was evaluated through an end of semester Likert style survey, andthe impact of the learning approach was assessed by comparing student participation in themicrolearning modules to performance in an end of semester ethics quiz.

in student being removed from the program. To demonstrate theimportance of the student’s academic performance, when ever the GPA of the student falls below3.0, his/her place is replaced by some other student based on the high school teachers’recommendation. This is implemented to encourage students to work hard while in middle andhigh school and maintain a minimum 3.0 GPA. This also creates peer competition, which in turnencourages hard work necessary to secure admission into the program.Hands-on Experience The human mind grasps concepts better when an activity is performed in real time comparedto when read from a book.

Those interpersonal and professional skills better prepare them for industry jobs.
