what has been done by librarians in the past, so that college anduniversity libraries across the country are better able to plan, implement, and assess potentialoutreach and assistive programs for veterans on their campuses, both residential and virtual.INTRODUCTIONSince World War II, there have been several “G.I. Bills” passed by Congress to provide benefitsfor veterans of America’s wars. The first, officially known as the Servicemen’s ReadjustmentAct of 1944, included low-cost mortgages and loans, a year of unemployment compensation, and(most importantly) dedicated tuition and living expenses for veterans attending college. By 1956,when the act expired, over 2.2 million veterans had successfully used the G.I. Bill to attend thecollege of

When we formulated the structure of the workshop, wetherefore built the topic of intersectionality into our plans, and attempted to live out thoseprinciples in our design.Workshop GoalsWith this in mind, we sought to bring together experts across a range of computing, engineering,and related technical and data-based disciplines as well as experts from other fields in the socialsciences, including education and the learning sciences, to build an agenda for inclusive policy,practices, and research for TNB computing students. Our specific goals were to: ● Define near- and long-term agenda items for intersectional research about the inclusion of TNB learners in computing for the Computing Education Research (CER) community ● Advance

The first-year implementation cost was approximately $1200 per student and thesecond and third-year cost under $400 per student. With the outbreak of the COVID pandemicand safety restrictions occurring just prior to the first year of implementation, this choice wastimely and allowed the college to provide a capstone project for a full class of students. Facultyhad the ability to control and adapt the project as needed. During the second-year, restrictionseased, and faculty again adapted the project.

onengineering and applied science. In fact, most educators trained in humanities, arts, and socialsciences work in a single department.We planned these activities in response to significant recent interest in pedagogies inflected bySTS for engineering students [1, 2, 3]. Such efforts are often strongly interdisciplinary, crossingboundaries between engineering and humanities fields. There are some signs that engineeringeducation, on the whole, considers interdisciplinary education to be useful for students: evidenceof these considerations include ABET criteria [4], curricular and co-curricular requirements ofengineering degrees, and pedagogical activities in which different disciplinary knowledgessupport the integration of “sociotechnical” themes [5, 6

However, after significant testing, we realized that the motor,when used as a generator, did not create as much electricity as we had originally planned.[23

Nevertheless, employers expect new hires to possess knowledge of standards and theirapplications [5]. Moreover, collaboration between universities and industry is essential to ensurethat education programs are relevant and up-to-date. However, not all universities may haveestablished partnerships with industry, which can limit their ability to provide students withrelevant and practical education on standards and standardization.To bridge this gap, Georgia Southern University (GaSou) is planning and implementing acurriculum innovation to integrating engineering standards
