Quantum computing is presently in a “pre-vacuum-tube” era, with noisy devices that need error correction. But such architectures require many physical components, creating a high hardware and control overhead. Instead, a different paradigm based on individual devices, each with a high number of internal levels, has been proposed to achieve better hardware efficiency. The challenge then is how to accomplish universal control over such a multilevel system. This talk presents a new protocol for multi-level control (“matrix element modification”) in which the correspondence between control parameters and the resulting quantum dynamics of the oscillator is clear. This protocol was recently used to demonstrate high-dimensional quantum control of a harmonic oscillator, producing dynamics akin to that of a rotating top that are useful for logical quantum operations.

As society seeks climate solutions that decarbonize cities and leverage the carbon benefits of forests and trees, mass timber – a family of massive engineered wood building construction materials used in primarily in large buildings – is frequently cited as a powerful tool to achieve multiple benefits. Nationwide, more mass timber apartment buildings, community centers, schools, and offices are opening their doors, and domestic mass timber supply is gradually increasing as well. As mass timber momentum builds, leaders across the U.S. are working to facilitate mass timber ecosystems that maximize mass timber’s forest, carbon, and climate benefits in ways that reflect the specific needs and contexts of the communities and environments in those regions.

In her 2023 book, “Designing Forests and Other Mass Timber Futures,” NYC architect and educator Lindsey Wikstrom investigated mass timber supply chains to understand how growing mass timber’s presence in the built environment can best respect, protect, and benefit communities, cultures, economies, and the built environment.

Wikstrom moderates a panel of mass timber leaders from across the U.S. who will highlight programs, policies, people, and practices that are advancing mass timber ecosystems in the Pacific Northwest, Colorado, Michigan/the Great Lakes Region, George, New England, and New York City.

The EvaluateUR Method is used to evaluate programs in different educational settings: independent undergraduate research, classroom-based research, and collegiate engineering and technology design competitions. The EvaluateUR Method measures student learning by providing statistically reliable assessments in a wide variety of outcome categories, including disciplinary and employability skills.

A unique feature of the EvaluateUR Method is the growth of student academic self-awareness, often called metacognition. The EvaluateUR Method serves as a tool for students, helping them build that awareness and use it to improve their learning.

EvaluateUR-CURE (E-CURE) is a version of the method specifically designed for students conducting research in a course (often called a CURE). E-CURE allows instructors to select a sub-set from a list of knowledge and skills – referred to as outcome categories – that best fit the learning goals of their course. This feature enables faculty to focus on a ‘core’ set of outcomes of particular relevance to their course research assignment(s). There also is an option for the CURE instructor to add additional learning outcomes.

E-CURE includes several options: (1) two-semester CURE; (2) one-semester CURE; and (3) shorter duration/smaller scale research project.

To learn more about using E-CURE attend a 75-minute session on August 19, 2024 from 3:00 – 4:15 pm Eastern time (ET).

The surge in cloud computing, notably Amazon Web Services (AWS), has been significant. Understanding and utilizing these services have become crucial for educators, particularly in teaching information technology and cybersecurity programs. The "AWS Cloud Essentials" course is tailored specifically for community college educators, offering a comprehensive toolkit to harness the potential of cloud computing within the educational sphere. Through engaging lab activities, participants will immerse themselves in the core concepts of AWS, gaining a profound comprehension of cloud computing principles, services, and best practices. This course covers a spectrum of topics, from storage solutions to computational resources, equipping educators with the tools to seamlessly integrate cloud technology into their curriculum, courses, and teaching methodologies and fostering innovation and collaborative learning environments for students.

Throughout the course, participants will actively participate in hands-on exercises, collaborative team projects, interactive discussions, and real-world case studies facilitated by seasoned instructors with expertise in education and cloud computing. Community college educators will emerge equipped with the confidence and competence to leverage AWS cloud services effectively, enriching student learning and equipping them with the skills necessary for success in an increasingly digital world.  

This workshop is funded and tailored specifically for community and technical college faculty members wishing to expand their knowledge, earn an industry certification, and strengthen their ability to incorporate new cybersecurity content in their community college curriculum. This workshop is not intended for students or other non-faculty participants.

Mass timber construction is growing rapidly in the US, experiencing exponential growth since 2014. Despite this, a lack of an educated and knowledgeable workforce remains as a top barrier to wider use of these materials and techniques in domestic markets. The Advancing Faculty Skills in Mass Timber Construction Workshop helps to resolve this barrier through a hands-on, small-group workshop that will guide faculty participants through current topics of interest regarding mass timber construction, provide them with experience on mass timber construction sites, and give them an opportunity to develop the framework for incorporating mass timber topics into their teaching. The three-day workshop features construction of a small mockup, takes participants to several mass timber buildings and construction sites, and allows them to consider how these topics can be incorporated into their teaching. The workshop is led by faculty from Michigan State University, as well as industry experts in timber design, manufacturing, and construction.  

The workshop will be held June 24-26, 2024, at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan. Featured facilities during the session will include the MSU STEM Teaching and Learning Building, the first significant mass timber project completed in Michigan and the MSU Construction Management Research and Education Laboratory.

During each of these trainings, the facilitators and college instructors will build separate trainers from the beginning and go through lessons which are part of the web-based course. The goal of these trainings are that local community colleges will work with high schools to offer dual credit to the high schools. In Nebraska, the community college is providing the instructor of record for the college credit and the facilitator helps the students and provide classroom management, but your school may choose to use these trainers differently. Those interested are welcome to participate in one or all the classes and will receive a stipend for each course participated in. The courses must be taken in sequential order.
