The Pennsylvania State University was awarded a $215,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Graduate Education. The grant supports the development of a new curriculum titled "SATC: EDU: A Curriculum for Quantum Security and Trust" from June 15, 2021 to May 31, 2023.
The funding advances the goals of the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) by supporting the creation of an innovative curriculum focused on quantum security and trust. The new course materials will provide students with knowledge of quantum information science principles and help prepare the next generation workforce for jobs in quantum technologies. The two-year grant period will allow Penn State to design, test, and refine the curriculum.
