Finally, in the context of quantum engineering, a field where women and certain minoritygroups are often underrepresented, experiential learning opportunities may be particularlyimpactful. Hands-on projects and labs can boost students’ confidence and identity as emergingscientists or engineers. Research on undergraduate research programs (which are a form ofexperiential learning) supports this: studies have found that when students from underrepresentedbackgrounds participate in authentic research or lab experiences, their self-efficacy in STEMincreases and their aspirations for STEM careers grow. For instance, a program documented byCarpi et al. showed significant gains in
