Objectives of the Course • Interdisciplinary introduction to basic concepts of modern engineering of small scale objects;
• Learning the social impact of modern engineering;
• Learning the role of modern engineering in the solution of global challenge problems.
Course Content Basic principles of quantum approach to modern engineering; Concepts of engineering for quantum dots, wires, wells and nanoscale objects; Concepts of special and energy control of small scale objects; Basic concepts of quantum computation and quantum communication; Application of quantum engineering to bio- and medical technologies; Social impacts of quantum engineering; Role of quantum engineering in the developing of modern and forthcoming technologies; Contribution of quantum engineering to solving global challenge problems.
Course Methods and Techniques We will be using various tools for active learning to take place.
This is also a student-driven course. It is your responsibility to participate actively in class discussions. You are not graded on whether you agree or disagree with the instructor or with each other. Evaluation of class participation will be based on your ability to rise and answer important issues, to contribute ideas or insights, to build upon the ideas of others, ask questions to presenters, etc.
