challenges they may facewhile attending school [14]. While Green Zone style training has shown some success inimproving awareness of military students on campus, it has often fallen into the same “deficit-thinking” patterns that plague institutional awareness of post-traditional students [6], [10] byfocusing more on how to mitigate the effects of PTSD and other mental health problems aboveother forms of support for social integration and educational success.Notably, the University of Wyoming found success in supporting military students by providinga course to help returning veterans transition from military service to higher education [2].

To prepare students for the 21st-century workplace challenges, instructors are striving tocreate learning activities that help them to develop content expertise, problem solving andteamwork skills. To prepare our electrical engineering students for the renewal energy experience,which serves as a critical element of their education, we offer an elective senior level course calledSmart Power Grids (ECE 4260). However, since this is an elective course not all the students areexposed to the topic. This elective course on renewable energy is not enough to teach the studentsthe skills that they need. For our capstone courses students have the option of selecting the areathat they would like to do their project in. Recently
