This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program provides $3,000,000 to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to develop new interdisciplinary courses and hands-on learning experiences to prepare graduate students from diverse backgrounds for careers in the growing quantum technology sector. The project, titled "NRT-QL: Quantum Cross-Platform Advanced Training for Future Innovators," aims to address the need for more students educated in quantum science, an exciting and rapidly advancing field underpinning modern technologies. Over 5 years, approximately 100 graduate students from departments including Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, and Physics will participate in the program, which will also reach an additional 300-500 individuals through public outreach activities. The initiative leverages UT Austin's strong science and technology ecosystem, as well as the recently established Texas Quantum Institute, to provide students with meaningful connections to real-world quantum research and industry applications.
