12 years professionally and as a hobby. • I have always been mechanically inclined, and having a background in aviation maintenance made it an easy decision. Also, in high school, I enjoyed and did well in my math and science courses. Part of using the Vocational Rehabilitation program through the VA is an aptitude assessment. My scores on that test also determined that engineering was best suited for my skill set and understanding. • I like breaking things to see how they work as well as building and creating new things and used to think math was fun. • It seemed like a good route for being a pilot in the military. • My associates degree was in engineering technology and I wanted to further that
Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM) courses. Researchers have noted that some course instructorssimply lecture but rarely help students make the connection between teaching and learning.4-5The SI program is based on group sessions led twice a week for one hour by a peer leader whohas already completed the course with a grade of an A or B. These group sessions includecollaborative learning techniques. SI leaders were assigned to target courses based on priorsemester DFW rates and professor willingness to have an SI leader. Whenever possible, the SIleader sits in class and gains firsthand knowledge of the areas in which students are struggling.In order to examine the effectiveness of the SI sessions, we examined the number of SI

‘military engineering ethics.’Engineering education interfaces with the military in three key ways: (1) students being educatedto become commissioned military officers at U.S. service academies and other institutions viaROTC programs, who are majoring in engineering; (2) military veterans as ‘non-traditionalstudents’ earning engineering degrees; and (3) engineering students who will work on defenseand/or military-related technology. Key facets of these three groups are discussed below.The U.S. government’s service academies all award engineering degrees. As well, ROTCprograms are present at “over 1700 college and universities” [23]. Thus, a number of engineeringstudents are simultaneously receiving formal education for two professions. “Doctors

However, this directive requires greater sophistication incurricular design, providing an interface between basic science and engineering at the systemslevel, and leadership for innovation. These curricular priorities also exert their influence on thekinds of engineering skills needed in the work force. Expertise related to communication,innovation, and leadership will be required to a much larger degree in accelerated productdevelopment. Topics such as these are typically not a significant part of the

Given the motivations to switch, the team wanted tocreate a new set of experiences that could replace ARoW, have fewer logisticalchallenges, better represent USCGA’s five Engineering programs, and give participantsa better idea of how Science and Engineering concepts are applied in technology,learned in college and used beyond graduation.Moving beyond ARoWIn fourteen years, ARoW became a mainstay in AIM, but as the team prepared forSummer 2018, replacing ARoW with another challenge was not in dispute.

Most student veterans aresupported by the Post-9/11 GI Bill for collegiate education as they work to help them transitioninto civilian careers. This is a large college student demographic in the United States receivingsubstantial educational assistance benefits from the federal government. In 2015, 790,507veterans received almost $12 billion for their education [6]. We focus on veterans enrolled inonline master’s degree engineering programs.
