Student veterans are often older and have more worldlyexperiences in a disciple and goal setting environment compared to many of their civiliancounterparts. We argue that the heterogeneous impact of student veterans on graduate onlineengineering programs should have a positive influence for engineering schools.Research shows that distance learners, like veterans, are more likely to be older with families andfull-time jobs compared to traditional students living on campus. Online learning research alsoshows that these non-traditional students are likely to have the same or even greaterdetermination in accomplishing their academic goals [16].

engineering education scholars, namely how they define their academic identity.Thus, this work-in-progress paper seeks to answer the research question: how do internationalstudents construct their academic identities in a graduate program in Engineering Education?Theoretical Framework: Funds of IdentityIn this work, we adopt the funds of identity theory as a framework for research design and datainterpretation. Funds of Identity theory centers on identity as a social constructivism perspectivewhile viewing identity as a form of capital [17], [18]. Thus, identity is conceptualized usingVygotsky’s point of view and as a “lived experience.” Instead of the experience itself, Vygotskyargues that it is an individual’s consciousness and subjective
inexperienced combined with adesire for academic success would stimulate self-motivation and encourage creativity. The second unique aspect was the multidisciplinary teamwork. Each engineering team mustinclude at least one medical student from Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. Themedical student joined the team through the Sling Health Network, a national student organizationfor medical innovation. Students were expected to learn through practice to translate customerrequirements to engineering specifications and effectively communicate with non-engineers ontechnical issues. The third unique aspect of this elective was that it required students to manage the problemtopic selection phase. To aid in the stimulation for self-motivation
learning modules helped them applyresearch concepts and methods. The purpose of this study was to develop and investigate theeffectiveness of an approach that addresses the challenges of the rapidly evolving workplace bycreating a collaborative multidisciplinary research environment for graduate students using © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023inquiry-based and active learning methods and the concept of cognitive presence.

What elements of the Rapid model were essential for consortium development? What elements were not essential? 2. What were strengths and challenges in the consortium development process? 3. How can the Rapid model be refined to support consortium development more effectively?MethodsResearchers used a design and development research process to provide real-time evidence formodel pilot-testing during consortia development.
