Our exploratory research presents information about WSVEs’ pathways intoengineering and begins to unpack the factors related to WSVEs’ gender, military and engineeringidentities.The research was guided by three main questions:1. Why do WSVEs

education track also teachesveterans about their joint service transcript (JST), which is a transcript listing all of the training,coursework, and professional skills a service member has accumulated through the military. Thistranscript can be used to justify transfer credit even in engineering [38], although not all collegesrecognize these transcripts and give credit for the experiences of student veterans. Potentially,work can be done to better align the JST entries with jargon recognized at major engineeringcolleges, but educating the engineering education community about these transcripts and what iscontained in them may help connect student veteran experiences with academic credit,addressing academic recognition concerns.Tied within much of

, underrepresentedminority, disabled, etc.). These challenges illustrate not only an obligation to conduct moreSVSM research, but also a need to push at the current boundaries of SVSM research for thepurposes of deepening the practical as well as theoretical impact of its findings.One way to advance SVSM research within the context of engineering education is through abroad(er) application of available theoretical perspectives and research methodologies,particularly those developed within the research traditions of other professionally oriented fields(e.g., teacher education, medicine). The purpose of this work in progress paper is to present fordiscussion a promising approach for researching alongside SVSM in engineering educationcalled ‘Narrative Inquiry

graduates has grown significantlyover the past decade as new industries and their feeder industries continue to grow. At the sametime, DoD organizations and their contracted subsidiaries in the area have only marginallygrown. However, even with the high demand for engineers in the civilian sector, engineeringstudent veterans still pursue DoD opportunities frequently. In both government and civiliansectors, there is emphasis on producing engineers that are technically proficient and possessprofessional skills such as leadership, organization, time management, and communication—behavioral characteristics often associated with veterans.Surveys and individual follow-up qualitative interviews conducted with representatives fromselected local DoD
