environment and can meet their educational goals.IntroductionThe Citadel has a well-known and highly-ranked engineering program. Most recently, it has beenrated as one of the top 25 engineering programs, by US News and World Report for Universitiesthat offer a master’s degree as the highest degree. It is also ranked the number one University inthe south for veteran students. Adapting to a growing student enrollment within any college isdifficult, particularly in a financially constrained environment and competing against colleges/universities that receive more funding and a progressive (versus traditional military) campusclimate. Veterans who are leaving the military and considering a second career as well as someactive duty students who are

policy describe compelling reasons why new science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education pathways, able to supportachievement among the nation’s nontraditional and underrepresented minority students, areneeded. Specifically, policy recommendations emphasize that increased enrollment and retentionof student veterans in STEM degree programs is critical to our nation’s capability to reachrequired levels of future STEM workers [1]. Moreover, since many SVSM are women and/orunderrepresented minorities, recruitment and retention of SVSM along STEM career pathways isvital for diversifying, as well as strengthening, the nation’s STEM workforce [2-4]. As a group,student veterans and service members (SVSM) are considered well-suited

, and nuclear engineering” [24]. The Navy ROTC classifiesacademic majors into desirability, with the most desirable Tier 1 majors including aerospace,chemical, electrical, mechanical, naval, nuclear, ocean, and systems engineering; Tier 2 majorsinclude civil, computer, and biomedical engineering [25]. There are also specific military postsavailable to civil engineers via the Navy Seabees, Navy Civil Engineering Corps, and ArmyCorps of Engineers. At one large, public institution among about 5000 undergraduate studentsenrolled in the College of Engineering, about 2% were participating in ROTC [unpublisheddata]. While these students will generally begin their careers in the military, many eventuallycomplete their service and enter engineering jobs

weconceived of the studio courses, the intended aims were: • For faculty to help students connect the dots between the various content courses that students take during the semester and help them see how their learning fits into a broader perspective. The hope was that these connections between courses and their relation to the students’ career fields would result in a transformative learning experience [9]. • For computer students to form a cohort of peer learners early in their academic career. Many studies have shown that students who belong to a community of learners tend to be more engaged and are more likely to be successful in the program [10], [11]. Because military veteran students

Active duty military members shareall of these characteristics; however, they may also be connecting from a different time zone oreven a battlefield or base in hostile territory. With 840,000 military enrolments and $445 millionin expenditures (in 2006), there is significant interest, by universities, in targeting a militarystudent base [2]. To support these students Minnis says that military cultural training, outreachand services related to careers, counseling, health, disabilities, financial aid and businessconcerns are needed [3]. Many veteran friendly lists and accreditations consider these services,but fail to consider whether a

], specifically geared towards Veteran students. A formerly validatedsurvey, the Engineering Professional Responsibility Assessment (EPRA) [18], was selected asthe initial survey. This survey was selected because it targets students in their first year, anextremely important period concerning Veteran student retention. The EPRA is a 65-itemmeasure of social responsibility that conceptualizes social responsibility into eight distinct butrelated constructs (see Table 1). The EPRA contains Likert-type items that range from 1(Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree) which was shortened to 1-5 Likert scale for this study.Examples of items from the EPRA include, “It is important to me personally to have a career thatinvolves helping people”, and “I feel an

of this paper is to report the results of the 2018 ASEE Student Veteran Leadershiproundtable. This roundtable brought together a diverse group of veterans, engineering educators,and engineering student veteran researchers. Through a series of ideation exercises anddiscussions, the group examined the challenges student veterans traditionally face, on-goingsupport initiatives at their home institutions, and recommended actions for ASEE to pursue in theyears ahead. The topics discussed during the panel are related to previous research about thechallenges faced by veteran students beyond ETETE career paths. A series of novel initiativesare presented that may assist ASEE and university administrators more broadly in adopting afresh approach to
