AbstractIn order to address the next needed steps in creating a quantum information science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (QISMET) workforce in the engineering disciplines, this workshop will be held, to be attended by representatives of industry, national labs, and the full US university ecosystem from flagship schools to four-year colleges. The workshop will describe the community challenges, explore opportunities to address those challenges, and map out a path forward for near-term progress. The workshop will identify realistic deliverables: (a) recommendations for creating a quantum engineering minor; and (b) recommendations for creating a quantum engineering major and/or specialized track within engineering majors. The workshop recommendations will be realizable over the next 2-5 years in most US universities.Quantum engineering education is required to create future quantum engineers in quantum computing, communications, and sensing. These areas of fundamental science will not become robust technologies without quantum engineering expertise. The workshop will develop a clear vision for quantum engineering education at the undergraduate level and beyond for the U.S. workforce.The recommendations provided by this workshop on best ways to create a quantum engineering discipline at the undergraduate level will help guide educational development and investment in US universities and government agencies such as NSF. Students reading the web site and/or roadmap paper where these recommendations are presented will have a quick and clear understanding of the scope of quantum engineering and the educational innovation needed to support its development. At the present time, digital quantum computers are often in the press while the quantum workforce education to support their development is mostly not in place. This workshop will help expand the understanding of quantum engineering education and quantum information science more generally to students and professionals from many engineering subfields, to STEM professionals, and to the wider public.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

摘要：为了解决在工程学科中创建量子信息科学、数学、工程和技术 (QISMET) 劳动力的下一步所需的步骤，将举办本次研讨会，行业代表、国家实验室和整个机构的代表将参加本次研讨会。美国大学生态系统从旗舰学校到四年制学院。该研讨会将描述社区面临的挑战，探索应对这些挑战的机会，并规划近期进展的道路。该研讨会将确定现实的可交付成果：(a) 创建量子工程辅修课程的建议； (b) 关于创建量子工程专业和/或工程专业内的专业轨道的建议。研讨会的建议将在未来 2-5 年内在大多数美国大学得以实现。需要量子工程教育来培养量子计算、通信和传感领域的未来量子工程师。如果没有量子工程专业知识，这些基础科学领域就不会成为强大的技术。该研讨会将为美国劳动力的本科及以后的量子工程教育制定清晰的愿景。本研讨会提供的关于在本科阶段创建量子工程学科的最佳方法的建议将有助于指导美国的教育发展和投资大学和政府机构，例如 NSF。阅读提出这些建议的网站和/或路线图论文的学生将快速清晰地了解量子工程的范围以及支持其发展所需的教育创新。目前，数字量子计算机经常见诸报端，而支持其发展的量子劳动力教育却大多不到位。本次研讨会将有助于更广泛地扩大来自许多工程子领域的学生和专业人士、STEM 专业人士以及更广泛的公众对量子工程教育和量子信息科学的理解。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并被认为值得通过以下方式提供支持：使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估。
