local high school student who was interested in learning more about both electronicsand military applications.The ultimate goal of the Jammer Project is to create a functional set of equipment that includesboth a mock RCIED and jammer. They are planned to be used for demo purposes at high schoolrecruiting activities.This paper covers the first two phases of the Jammer Project: creating a mock RCIED and thecircuit to control the jammer. It begins with a short description of the course in which the lab istaught, how the link to high school students came about, plus some background information onmilitary applications and what the military terms “electronic warfare”. Then it describes thedesign and construction of both devices, followed by the

It then providesexamples of veterans in leadership roles in three different programs and activities. Oneexperience will be a project leader in the ASCE concrete canoe, another is the role of veteranleaders in a senior design project in electrical engineering. Finally, the last experience describesthe veterans assuming leadership roles in the student chapter of ASME. Based upon thefeedback and peer assessments, these veterans played significant roles in their organizations’ andteams’ activities and eventual success.IntroductionThe Citadel has a well-known and highly-ranked engineering program.

data thinkingthat the students would want to seek out and establish their own personal relationships withmentors based on points of commonality. Our initial assumption was that the students haddeveloped and internalized a sense of self-sufficiency during their military service that theiracademic peers did not possess.Recruitment of mentors and students was relatively effortless. As mentioned earlier, every veteranwho was contacted volunteered after hearing of the project and its goal of improving the graduationrate for veterans in CEIT. Similarly every student who asked for more information about theproject volunteered to participate. The authors are not able though to accurately assess yet whatpercentage of the veteran student population in
