Abstract
We reviewed experiences in teaching principles and applications of Quantum Mechanics (QM in short) in students of the electrical engineering program. Essentially we focused on the applicability of the electronics in the developing of others fields concretely in the field of quantum physics of particles commonly known as particles physics detectors and the role of DAQ systems. This paper presents experiences on the applied methodology which was used to provide to the students basic knowledge on the main principles of the quantum mechanics targeting that the student acquires capabilities to make a coherent connection between the electronics engineering contribution as a crucial component to the development of the basic sciences. Essentially this paper aims to describe the principles of QM and how it is the starting point to involve engineers students in research related to cutting edge technologies through the demonstration of the basic principles of the quantum theory in the lab. Here lab would denote a possible experiment for testing advanced QM models. We provide an illustrative example based on the role of the electronic engineering in the detection of subatomic particles in ongoing projects of elementary particles detection. Emphasis is paid in the role of the electronics engineering to design and built high resolution detectors.
