The NSF Convergence Accelerator program supports use-inspired, team-based, multidisciplinary efforts that address challenges of national importance and will produce deliverables of value to society in the near future. The goal of this project is to develop QuSTEAM (Quantum Information Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts andMathematics), a transformational undergraduate curriculum that will provide a national educationalmodel for the emerging field of quantum information science and engineering (QISE).The intellectual merit of this project is in development of a QuSTEAM curricular structure using evidenced-based research to determinethe scientific and engineering practices that will be required of the future quantum smart workforce. Ourcurriculum will serve as a national standard for QISE education. This new curricular structure will bedesigned from the ground up to address structural barriers that have to date limited the diversity andinclusiveness of STEM training and will include concurrent training in the societal impact of QISEtechnologies by incorporating content beyond traditional STEM disciplines. The key outputs of ourresearch will be: (i) A schematic of interdisciplinary modules that details how the building blocks ofQISE-competency can be organized for different educational targets (module, class, minor, andcertificate). (ii) A map of steps taken to actively promote equity and inclusivity in the curriculum that willserve as a model for future curricular development. (iii) Individual course curricula that demonstrate theimplementation of QuSTEAM.The broader impacts of this project will be in creation of a quantum smart workforce will have a transformative effect on the US economy and society. The QuSTEAM curriculum, and the methodology used in developing it, will be made publicly available to serve as a template for the development of convergent curricula in other subjects."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.

NSF Connergence Accelerator计划支持采用的基于团队的多学科努力，这些工作应对国家重要性的挑战，并将在不久的将来为社会带来价值的可交付成果。 The goal of this project is to develop QuSTEAM (Quantum Information Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts andMathematics), a transformational undergraduate curriculum that will provide a national educationalmodel for the emerging field of quantum information science and engineering (QISE).The intellectual merit of this project is in development of a QuSTEAM curricular structure using evidenced-based research to determinethe scientific and engineering practices that will be required of the future量子智能劳动力。我们的大学将成为QISE教育的国家标准。这种新的课程结构将从地面上进行策划，以解决迄今为止必须限制STEM培训的多样性和inclusissive的结构障碍，并将通过纳入传统的STEM学科以外的内容来包括对Qisetechnologies的社会影响的同时培训。我们的研究的关键输出将是：（i）跨学科模块的示意图，详细介绍了如何针对不同的教育目标（模块，班级，次要，且且学位）组织的构件阻碍QIESE-CISE的构件。 （ii）为积极促进课程中的公平和包容性所采取的步骤图，该步骤将作为未来课程发展的模型。 （iii）表明Qusteam实施的个人课程课程。该项目的更广泛影响将在创建量子智能劳动力方面，将对美国的经济和社会产生变革性的影响。 Qusteam课程以及开发IT的方法将公开使用，以作为其他科目开发收敛课程的模板。
