inacademia was a concern that was brought up by multiple participants. More specifically, theparticipants noted that there are inconsistencies in what credits transfer from military experienceinto an engineering curriculum. A couple of the assets that were brought up during the sessionincluded, “vet populations are diverse and understand diversity,” and that student veterans are“very task-oriented compared to peers.”Funding. Another concern for SVEs surrounds funding. Some of the participants brought up the“lack of transparent alternate funding,” and “only 36 months of funding (initially)”.
