Extending this proof-of-concept sequence for integrating QIS in middle school settingswill require implementation, practitioner feedback and collaboration, and ongoing evaluation.Our approach to the learning sequence represents one means that resources such as IBM QX canbecome relevant to middle school teachers and students.

A number of these courses focus onprogramming of DSP chips: typical examples are given in [2,3,4,5,6,7,8].This paper describes the implementation and assessment of a DSP-based laboratory course that istailored to the particular needs of students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). In 1970,WPI developed a unique outcome-oriented, project-based engineering curriculum, referred tolocally as the WPI Plan [9]. The WPI Plan is distinguished by several features: · Courses are offered in four seven-week terms, identified by the letters A, B, C, and D. Students

When asked why they were struggling, students expressed that they did not expect thevariety or complexity of the problems they were facing as engineers [10]. They felt unprepared[10] and that previous work experience was the only way to build the skills necessary to solvethese problems [13]. This struggle to transition into full-time work could be related to thedifferences in what knowledge, skills, or abilities are valued in an engineering curriculum overindustry [10], [12], [13]. To combat this struggle, academia can provide students opportunitiesfor work or work-like experiences throughout the curriculum.One such way to provide work experiences to

It was not until the 1880sthat students and educators started to use physical laboratories to augmented theory taught inlecture settings [3]. In 1910, Dewey weight into the debate on the usefulness of laboratoryexperiments. Dewey was not convinced that adding laboratory exercises to the curriculum wasan added benefit [4]. Over time, the: approach of integrating laboratory experiences represented a marked change from earlier science education. In contrast to earlier curricula, which included laboratory experiences as secondary applications of concepts previously addressed by the teacher, the

Finally, there are some suggestionsabout the implications for the future of chemical engineering education.

problems in the popular texts result in a set of linear algebraic equations, thus offering the instructor an authentically motivated reason to describe the process of Gaussian elimination in the solution of such problems. Numerical methods such as the Newton-Raphson method for nonlinear algebraic equations and the Euler and Runge-Kutta numerical integration methods may also be added to the studentÀs store of equation solving methods as the opportunities arise. In advanced courses, one may delve even deeper into the underlying structure of linear dynamic models, pointing out the presence of dynamic modes and their relation to the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the coefficient matrix of the state
