As we enter the quantum era in all aspects of technology\, i t is imperative to update the curriculum to prepare future electrical engi neers (and technologists) for these emerging fields. We recommend enrichin g the curriculum with new courses such as (a) Quantum Mechanics for Electr ical Engineers\, which provides a foundation in quantum principles\, (b) Q uantum Theory of Solids\, a specialized version of solid-state physics tai lored to electrical engineering\, and (c) Nanotechnology for Electrical En gineers\, emphasizing the design and application of nanodevices. A key foc us should be on quantum dots as critical components in the development of ultra-short-channel field-effect transistors (FETs) or in medical applicat ions\, highlighting their importance in modern nanoelectronics. These curr iculum enhancements will equip students with the knowledge and skills to t hrive in the quantum-driven future.\n\nCo-sponsored by: EDS Student Branch \, Physics & Engineering Dept\, University of Scranton\n\nSpeaker(s): Argy rios\, \n\nRoom: 334\, Bldg: Loyola Science Center (LSC)\, 204 Monroe Ave\ , Physics and Engineering Dept\, University of Scranton\, Pennsylvania\, U nited States\, 18510 LOCATION:Room: 334\, Bldg: Loyola Science Center (LSC)\, 204 Monroe Ave\, P hysics and Engineering Dept\, University of Scranton\, Pennsylvania\, Unit ed States\, 18510 ORGANIZER:Argyrios.varonides@scranton.edu SEQUENCE:41 SUMMARY:Quantum Engineering for the undergraduate Electrical Engineering Cu rriculum URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/441673 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>The current undergraduate electrical engin eering curriculum lacks sufficient coverage of quantum engineering\, despi te the rapid advancements in quantum technologies\, including quantum comp uting\, devices\, and nanodevices.
