AI technologies are poised to radically transform society, already impacting how we learn, work, and interact. Educators, institutions, and partnering organizations are challenged to both map and navigate an evolving landscape. Generative AI has provided the most notable example of the new reality, highlighting the promise and the peril of AI for education. All learners, regardless of their background or area of study, need to develop AI literacy and skills. For this reason, Dawson College has taken a comprehensive approach to AI education. This presentation will share experiences, strategies, and lessons learned by the DawsonAI initiative. To illustrate a range of approaches that can be taken to implement AI into education, the presentation will feature classroom activities, projects, and events undertaken by Dawson College students. In particular, the role of experiential learning will be highlighted, drawing on examples from collaborations with research and nonprofit partners. This will provide a framework for exploring the notion of future-ready education in the AI era and the importance of forging partnerships. An open discussion on topics of interest to the IEEE Education Society will be an important component of the presentation. The general goals are to initiate dialogue, share valuable insights, and explore possibilities for future collaborations.

Abstract: Exploiting spatial correlations between photons is a fundamental in quantum imaging. Correlation-based imaging, a scheme whereby one photon from a pair interacts with an object before reaching the detection system. The joint measurement of the two photons then reveals the image of the object. Though the image reconstruction was initially implemented using computational techniques that employ a single pixel with no spatial resolution on its own, modern implementations can make use of arrays of single-photon sensitive detectors. Novel imaging sensors such as arrays of single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) have enabled two- and three-dimensional imaging, the latter being enabled by the high temporal resolution. Furthermore, their high-frame rate, compared to rival technology, dramatically reduces the acquisition time required to spatially characterise quantum states and form a correlation image. In this talk, we will provide an overview of the recent developments in 2D, and 3D correlation-based imaging using photon pairs and enabled by SPAD cameras. Particularly, we will focus on optical designs geared towards applications in microscopy.

This workshop offers participants an engaging activity that demonstrates the application of ethical and responsible AI in addressing societal issues. Through the activity participants will develop and evaluate a machine learning model, while critically assessing its ethical implications. The activity explores the first of three pedagogical kits developed by a team from John Abbott College and Concordia University with funding from the PIM (Pôle interordres de Montréal).
