‘military engineering ethics.’Engineering education interfaces with the military in three key ways: (1) students being educatedto become commissioned military officers at U.S. service academies and other institutions viaROTC programs, who are majoring in engineering; (2) military veterans as ‘non-traditionalstudents’ earning engineering degrees; and (3) engineering students who will work on defenseand/or military-related technology. Key facets of these three groups are discussed below.The U.S. government’s service academies all award engineering degrees. As well, ROTCprograms are present at “over 1700 college and universities” [23]. Thus, a number of engineeringstudents are simultaneously receiving formal education for two professions. “Doctors

often includeelements of other engineering disciplines, require systems thinking in problem formulation andsolution, and asserts that we must educate engineering students for a technological era ofincreased scope, scale, and complexity. However, this directive requires greater sophistication incurricular design, providing an interface between basic science and engineering at the systemslevel, and leadership for innovation. These curricular priorities also exert their influence on thekinds of engineering skills needed in the work force. Expertise related to communication,innovation, and leadership will be required to a much larger degree in accelerated productdevelopment. Topics such as these are typically not a significant part of the

to think about pursuing degrees inSTEM, in particular at USCGA. Given the motivations to switch, the team wanted tocreate a new set of experiences that could replace ARoW, have fewer logisticalchallenges, better represent USCGA’s five Engineering programs, and give participantsa better idea of how Science and Engineering concepts are applied in technology,learned in college and used beyond graduation.Moving beyond ARoWIn fourteen years, ARoW became a mainstay in AIM, but as the team prepared forSummer 2018, replacing ARoW with another challenge was not in dispute. UnitedStates Coast Guard Academy Engineering needed a challenge that better representedthe engineering student experience, and that led to deeper discussions about WHATaspects of

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.

Similar in style and format to theflipped classroom [5], studios are now being used in science, technology, and engineering areas,as well [6]-[8]. During the freshman and sophomore years, the studio courses are one-credit hourofferings that focus on the students completing projects.While the goals associated with adding the studio courses are intended to benefit all students,some of these goals are of particular benefit to the older students, including military veterans.Although some new content is taught, these courses are “content light”; the main purpose is forstudents to apply concepts learned in the other courses taken during the same semester.
