ConclusionsThus far, the project results have met or exceeded the expectations of the industrial sponsors,students, and faculty. The process by which these deliverables are produced (See figure 1)provide direct and indirect benefits for all concerned. For the industry sponsor, a key benefit isthat the deliverable is most often put to use.

First, the apparatus and instrumentalrequired for this experiment are simple and inexpensive. Departments interested in expandingtheir experimental repertoire for their laboratory could construct the experiment for less than$5,000. Second, this experiment covers technology that is directly relevant to many chemicalengineering applications, but is often only covered at a high-level, if at all, in undergraduatecurriculums. Fluidization technology is commonly used in the engineering field, with examplesranging from pneumatic conveying of solids to freeze drying of fruits to heterogeneous catalyticreactions

, 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

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.

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]).
