, and veteran undergraduates in engineering. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 The Methodological Promise of ‘Narrative Inquiry’ for Exploring Student Veteran and Service Member Experience as ‘People in Relation’AbstractStudent veterans and service members (SVSM) represent a significant, yet vastly underutilized,human resource for strengthening and diversifying the nation’s science, technology, engineering,and mathematics (STEM) workforce. It is estimated that, by the year 2020, over 5 million post9/11 service members will have transitioned out of the U. S. Armed Forces. Yet, despiteadvanced technical skills and training and access to unprecedented levels of educational benefits,today’s

The normalized scores are on the right and listed as with andwithout self-assessment to check if the student’s self-perception matches the group’s. Softwarewas formatted to color cells when assessment data was +/- 0.05 or greater (< 0.95 = orange, >1.05 = green), making it easy to find low and high performers.
