grant project targeted military veterans in an attempt to increasethe enrollment and number of advanced degree recipients in science, technology, engineering,and mathematics (STEM) while facilitating non-veteran students’ exposure to and interest inmilitary technology applications and related career opportunities. One of the major componentsin the grant project was a veteran-specific-mentoring program implemented in MechanicalEngineering graduate programs. Based on the first year’s assessment data, we examined studentveterans’ scholarly and professional development in the engineering graduate program to assessthe quality and impact of the veteran-specific mentoring program and mentoring relationshipsafforded through the new initiative.

development of leadership skills is key to a successfullong-term career and has been highlighted by both the profession, academia and governmentfunding agencies as a critical need. Increasing diversity and inclusion in leadership is also criticalfor technology companies as they become global enterprises. Yet, there is a gap in knowledge ofleadership views, experiences, and skills for a diverse population of engineering students that areconsidered to be millennial students to frame how to construct a logic model that identifies thefactors that influence a student’s perseverance in pursuing leadership experience [1].

Students in the control condition still did. This work is supported by NSF grant 1540627.IntroductionThe demand for engineers in the market is increasing as technology continues to increase incomplexity. However, college students in engineering fields often experience decreases inmotivation due to loss of interest and reduced competence beliefs [1, 2], which leads to thereduced retention in an engineering major and career [3].Motivation is an important component in predicting a variety of academic outcomes such asperformance

Society for Engineering Education, 2020Introduction The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [24] Technology Principle states that“[t]echnology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences the mathematics thatis taught and enhances student learning’’ (p. 24). Indeed, prior research suggests that integratingappropriate forms of technology into mathematics classrooms supports students’ learningexperiences [9, 11, 24], enhances student attitudes towards the subject of mathematics [2, 9] andbrings real-world problems into the classroom for students to explore and solve [18, 29]. This canbe done by creating an environment that promotes understanding, rather than memorization,through visualizations [5, 24], automated
