In thispaper, the experiences of returners in master’s programs with military work experience arestudied.BackgroundAs there is no existing literature specifically on military returners, the background for this paperis drawn from two distinct areas: the nascent literature on engineering returners in general, andliterature on veterans as students, particularly within engineering.ReturnersWhile the first work on returners was primarily anecdotal [1], there is a growing body of morerecent work that systematically examined this population of graduate students.

The data presented in this paper underscores the importanceof women faculty and mentors for the success of female engineering students.BackgroundUnderrepresentation of women in engineering, despite performing well academically, is a well-established fact and has been the focus of many researchers and policy makers. While lack ofrole models is considered one of the important factors, the gender of mentoring faculty hasrecently received some attention [1] and [2]. Because of a lack of introductory courses at thehigh school level, engineering faculty have the added responsibility of not only teaching thesubject but also introducing the profession and mentoring students and developing a sense ofbelonging [3].

students are most likely to experience success in college? The literature suggests thatstandardized test scores, high school GPA or a combination of the two may be used to predictstudent success in college to some degree [1, 2]. In addition to these cognitive variables, studiesalso focus on noncognitive factors that affect student success such as academic motivation andinstitutional integration [2,3]. While standardized test scores are uniformly administered to allstudents under similar conditions, they only measure a students’ current knowledge base. Manystudies have shown that success in high school academics (i.e. GPA) is a better indicator ofsuccess in college academics because it indicates students’ intellectual habits; i.e. work ethic [4-7

ReviewAbstractAdvances in technology are heralding a new era of this century — hailed as the digitalrevolution. Digital skills are becoming vital across cultures, genders, ages, abilities, andidentities. Engineers play key roles in building future technologies. Hence, the impact of digitalskills training in engineering education is of utmost importance. In this paper, we perform asystematic literature review of digital skill programs in K-12 education. We start with thedefinition of digital skills and its application to engineering. Then, we discuss how K-12 digitaleducation prepares future engineering students for better learning outcomes in the 21st century.Finally, we conclude with discussions of the findings and directions for future work.1
