, approaches that facilitate high-quality instruction with lower time investments are valuable. As we have noted elsewhere(Jarboe et al., 2016), technology-enhanced education has been used to break down distancebarriers for centuries. More recently, video-based lectures delivered via the web not only break-down distance barriers, but enable one critical teaching function – the delivery of contentthrough lecture – to be replicated with virtually zero additional effort by the instructor. This is anon-trivial advance: releasing an instructor from the task of delivering yet another lecture allowsfocusing instructor effort on relational, interactive, and thoughtful engagement with students,rather than on regurgitating the same lecture semester after

The coursehas been taught using a student centered paradigm with the in class periods utilized for studentpanel discussions, debates and free writes. Students are first introduced to applied ethicaltheories and a range of widely different ethical paradigms including duty and virtue basedtheories as well as rights-based, freedom-based utilitarianism. 2As biomedical engineering deals specifically with the nexus of engineering and life, ethical

surprisingly, women had a higher trigger threshold than men (course grades of A or B forwomen versus B or C for men on average). Both male and female students saw convenience as amain factor determining whether or not they used supplemental instruction. They indicated thatfrequency, time, and location of tutoring sessions were the most important factors. The tutor’sdepth of understanding and ability to explain material well were also key factors that motivatedstudents to continue to attend tutoring sessions. Students felt most comfortable receiving helpfrom tutors who were closer to them in educational background. As a result, students were most Page

This paper argues that quantum computing provides abundantopportunities for successful undergraduate research projects.Peter Shor’s discovery that quantum computers could be used, in theory, to factor large integersalmost exponentially faster than the best classical algorithms [5] generated a lot of interest inquantum information, science, and technology because of its potential to make current public-key encryption schemes obsolete. In addition, quantum computers show great promise forsolving classically intractable optimization problems (e.g., the traveling salesman problem [6],machine learning [7], and problems in computational biology [8]).

Importantly, while many smart citiestechnologies are privacy invasive, our project was done using technology that is not privacyinvasive. We assessed whether the project achieved the content and skill-oriented objectives bysurveying students quantitatively and qualitatively. Our quantitative and qualitative data suggest that students achieved many of theseobjectives. Notably, student perception data suggest increases in: their appreciation for coding,sensing, and data analysis for CEE; their ability to integrate sensing and data-informed decisionmaking; and their understanding of the potential impact of smart cities.
