Center of the City University of New York in 1991. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Incorporating Quantum Technologies into Engineering CurriculumAbstract: This paper first reviews the present status of quantum technologies that are rapidlymaking inroads to various fields of science and engineering. The author then suggests, in light ofthese developments, how one may incorporate the key principles, ideas, and topics of newquantum technologies into undergraduate quantum mechanics courses and laboratories to prepareand equip future engineers. Concrete examples of curriculum changes in modern physics,quantum mechanics, and advanced quantum mechanics courses are presented based on threeyears of

was being developed,was looked at in terms of how it helped to meet these outcomes and each course has itsown course-specific outcomes. We have developed a matrix mapping desired programlearning outcomes to these courses and are deciding how to assess the achievement ofthese outcomes. The new program includes four specialization areas, from which each studentmust choose two. These areas are Ceramic, Electronic, Metallic, and PolymericMaterials. In addition to a core materials curriculum taken by all majors, each specialtyarea is a series of four courses which add depth in a particular area. This unique programwill allow students to have both the breadth and depth needed to function in the currentmaterials workplace.2. Learning Outcomes

the roles that faculty development play ineducational reform to increase student retention in engineering programs and student success inSTEM courses. With improvements in student retention at the University of Southern Indiana (aregional comprehensive state institution) through student support programs, attention is shiftingto changes in the curriculum, instruction and academic policies as complementary efforts. Thisprovides opportunities for those in faculty development to collaborate with departments andcolleges in these student retention efforts. The project’s goal is to increase the participatingfaculty members' understanding of bottlenecks and factors impeding student progress at USI andknowledge about evidence-based student retention

Textbook examples are frequentlydisconnected from students’ immediate environment or use past data of little interest. In addition,information given on the subject is at most sketchy and the practical purpose of solving theseexamples is not clear. This lack of vivid applications in calculus courses motivated us to developcontent that can be used by instructors to enhance students’ learning experience by engagingthem directly in solving problems and applying attained skills to real life
