transition assistance programs and improve university efforts toensure that student veterans experience a successful transition from their military career to highereducation and engineering studies.IntroductionMilitary veterans are becoming a more visible presence on college campuses across the U.S.,with an estimated 5 million members of the armed services likely to enroll in universities by2020.1 Between 2009-2016, the U.S. Veterans Administration had paid $65.2 billion ineducational benefits to more than 1.6 million veterans and their family members.2 Thisinvestment represents a belief in the deep well of human and social capital that is embedded instudent veterans’ military experiences and in their potential for success.As the student veteran

Coordinator• Veterans Affairs representative, Associate Dean of Students• Various information sources including “Combat2College” [2]The discussion and background research resulted in a list of potential course topics. The coursetopics were grouped by area and organized into course goals. The goals of this course wereestablished to provide returning veterans:• A smooth transition to college life (time management skills, financial management, wellness skills);• Basic tools for academic success (basic writing skills, library skills, oral presentation skills, and advising);• Information on resources available to returning veterans (VA benefits, academic services, career services);• A sense of community, camaraderie, and belonging (interaction
discipline-based panels to evaluateACE credit recommendations for application to UNC or NCCCS programs. In October 2016,these faculty representatives met and attended a presentation from a team of ACE staff andreviewers, who explained the ACE review and recommendation process. Faculty and staff fromsix career fields (Criminal Justice, Allied Health, Business, English, Computer Science, andForeign Languages) then met in breakout sessions facilitated by the ACE team to experimentwith interpreting JST and ACE recommendation exhibits. Session participants discussed ACEcredit recommendations for their specific career field, noted common themes, identifiedquestions and potential barriers to awarding credit, and attempted to apply the creditrecommendations

At some point, he got the idea to use a mockRCIED and jammer as a fun demo for the high school students to hopefully spark interest intechnical careers and aid in recruiting. His original plan was to use a mock RCIED and jammerbuilt by his students, but the next time the course was offered there were no jammers created thatwere effective enough to use for demonstration purposes.

A DACUM panel was held at the Blind-Review Community College at City, State (blindreview) from June 21-22, 2016. The panel included eight participants from various companies andeducational institutions with the following job titles: Outside Machinist/Craft Instructor,Apprentice Instructor, Elevator Mechanics, Outside Machinist Apprentice, two Electrical CraftInstructors, a Career and Technical Education Teacher, and a former Navy electrician. Before the panel began, it was discussed that the technician’s position in consideration isnot entry level, and
of the top 13 engineering programs by US News and World Report for Universitiesthat offer a Master’s degree as the highest degree. Adapting to a growing student enrollmentwithin any college is difficult, particularly when competing against colleges/ universities thatreceive more funding and a progressive campus climate. Veterans who are leaving the militaryand considering a second career as well as some active duty students who are enhancing theirskillsets are a potential pool of students. These military and former military students canenhance the engineering education of traditional students as well. Colleges still desire to create adiverse student population and build an inclusive environment with all students to ensure theyfeel a part of
