The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Northeastern University $100,000 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to organize and deliver a workshop on integrating quantum computing and trustworthy artificial intelligence into undergraduate engineering education. The workshop will be co-located with the ACM Trust Conference in March 2027 at George Mason University's Arlington, Virginia campus. The event will convene engineering educators and researchers to learn and share strategies for incorporating quantum technologies and AI into engineering curricula, addressing the urgent need for engineering professionals to understand post-quantum cryptography challenges as modern systems become increasingly networked. The workshop will focus on introducing quantum technology topics into undergraduate engineering education in the AI era, aligning with Executive Order 14413 (quantum innovation) and Executive Order 14412 (protection against advanced cryptographic attacks). Northeastern University will develop and release all workshop materials—including lecture slides, lab scaffolds, assessment rubrics, open-source code, and implementation guidelines—on a dedicated GitHub repository, enabling faculty unable to attend to access and benefit from the content. The project will employ a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative and qualitative measures to assess faculty learning outcomes and evaluate workshop effectiveness. Performance period runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Boston, Massachusetts.
