Many universities are choosing to focus on developing educational material for graduate level students and coursework. At the University of Oslo, we have instead started with developing QT-related specializations and courses at the bachelor level.
In this talk, we will provide an overview of recent developments in QS&QT-related education at UiO. We will mainly be focusing on experiences with teaching quantum technology to bachelor students, in relation to the newly developed course FYS1400 Introduction to Quantum Technology. An interesting feature of this is that we currently have two courses at UiO teaching an intro to quantum physics - one taking a wavefunction first approach, and one using spin-first.
The talk will summarize our experiences so far with the new specializations and courses, and outline some possible directions for future development.
Marianne Etzelmüller Bathen is a Associate Professor at Department of physics, Solid-state Physics and Quantum Technology (QUANTUM), UiO.
We will serve refreshments, coffee and tea. Welcome!
The bi-weekly ODD seminar series at CCSE
The Open Discussions on Didactics (ODD) is a seminar series usually on Mondays at 13:00-14:00 every other week (odd week numbers) at CCSE.
The seminar will be maximum one hour, often closer to half an hour. It is an informal arena to present and discuss learning theory, educational research and teaching experiences within computational science. To cater to the highly heterogeneous backgrounds and interests of students, teachers and researchers in our environment, we aim for seminars that introduce listeners to new ideas within a broad spectrum of aspects, and that invites reflection and discussion.
Presentations need not be mature and polished - to the contrary we hope that as many as possible wants to share undigested observations and reflections in short presentations of varied form and topics. We hope to have enough contributions to frequently have the meetings as lightning talk sessions, where three different speakers will each give a 5-10-minute presentation followed by discussion.
