T06.00001: Adaptable & Modular Suite Of Educational Resources For Teaching Quantum Mechanics Invited Speaker: Homeyra R Sadaghiani Our five- year collaborative NSF project has produced a suite of research-based educational materials for teaching undergraduate quantum mechanics that are easily adaptable by faculty from a wide range of institutions. The course materials were designed for a spins-first instructional paradigm and include a variety of engaging student-centered activities for before, during, and after class (prefight surveys, concept tests, lecture notes, quizzes, exams, tutorial activities, homework), as well as a validated diagnostic assessment for the entire course. In this talk, I discuss the range of the freely available educational material we have developed and how they may be adapted for use at different instructional settings by discussing how these materials are used at each of our institutions. |

T06.00003: Preparing the quantum workforce: From quantum-aware to deep expertise Invited Speaker: Ben M Zwickl The quantum 2.0 revolution is using quantum features, such superposition and entanglement, to enable the engineering and control of increasingly complex systems, such as quantum computers, communication networks, and sensors. Educational innovation in quantum information science is essential to support technological and scientific innovation. As quantum technologies move toward commercialization, more engineers, software developers, and scientists will need familiarity with their principles and potential applications. Additionally, quantum experts are needed who can lead in innovative research and development. Studies of the current quantum workforce highlight the importance of "classical" knowledge and laboratory skills in addition to quantum-specific knowledge. Evidence will be drawn from published studies about the jobs, knowledge, and skills that are useful in today's quantum industry. The talk will also look at how different educational innovations in North America and Europe (courses, minors, and degree programs) are supporting students with quantum career interests and identify areas rich for more development. |
