This habit may have been created by the tools given to them, the smart phones and handheld devices. Given these text-only tools, students are less likely to choose a table or a graph, which can tell a better story. When graphics are done, they tend not to be professional in nature; rather they are the simple images with limited quality (e.g. like poorly take pictures that are fuzzy or shadows and backgrounds showed on non-scanned images). • Student reports need detailed peer review for grammar and structure.

Womenwho pursued careers in mathematics, sciences, and technology consistently reported that themessages sent to them about capabilities in these male-dominated fields served as crucial sourcesof their self-efficacy21, a finding echoed in interviews conducted by Hutchison et al.15 withsecond-year engineering students. Other researchers have shown more generally that beingencouraged by peers and faculty makes students more likely to put forth effort and persevere intheir majors4, 11, 15.Fewer studies have focused on examining the influential role of emotional and physiologicalstates on the students’ sense of efficacy in engineering.

At A&M, a LC is a group of students, faculty and industry that have commoninterests and work as partners to improve the engineering educational experience. LCs valuediversity, are accessible to all interested individuals, and bring real world situations into theengineering classroom. The key components of A&M engineering LCs at are: (1) clustering ofstudents in common courses; (2) teaming; (3) active/coopera tive learning; (4) industryinvolvement; (5) technology-enhanced classrooms; (6) peer teachers; (7) curriculum integration;(8) faculty team teaching; and (9) assessment and evaluation.

While not all students will have been exposed to OOPprior to the first quantum computing course, the faculty already have developed a framework fora simulator and will guide the students to write the code for selected methods. Faculty will alsoprovide a basic introduction to the OOP features of the Python programming language. Thestudents will work in interdisciplinary teams, where the CS students will be helpful in guidingtheir peers in this area. Thus, previous knowledge of OOP will not be necessary.

Drawingupon the works of others, she writes: “The rationale for cohort structures comes from cognitivelearning theory which suggests that learning is a profoundly social process that depends ondialogue, language and group processing. Additionally, cohort formats enhance student self-esteem, provide peer support, and furnish networking opportunities. It appears that leadershippractices that are transforming emphasize social interaction and group processing, the veryelements that describe cohort structures”. Interestingly, these are precisely the
