department cared very little about their undergraduate students as a whole. Also, I would like to deepen my electronics knowledge. • I've worked as an engineer for several years after leaving the military. Getting an engineering degree is the logical next career development step. • I have always loved science, math and the human body. I had originally wanted to be a physical therapist to help veterans get better after injuries. I remembered seeing an Army ranger on my deployment who returned to combat with a prosthetic leg. I never got to meet him personally, but I thought it was amazing to see how he was able to continue to fight for his country despite having his leg amputated. Prosthesis

Prior to is academic career Dr. Dean was Director of Operations and Business De-velopment for Clark-Smith Associates, P.C., and served as an Electrician in the US Navy aboard the USSSouth Carolina and the USS Enterprise. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017Active Duty Training for Support of Navy’s Additive Manufacturing StrategyAbstract Additive manufacturing has recently gained the attention of multiple stakeholders, includingthose in the advanced manufacturing industry, research and government labs, academia, and theNavy community. Various efforts within the Navy focus on studying the best way for parts to bebuilt and repaired for marine and naval vessels. Rapid
rooted in real problems, and offers expertise thatbenefits both the students AND the faculty members involved. In addition to added capabilityfor the military, these partnerships with the DOD give another avenue for engineers in themilitary when considering potential career paths or transitioning to the civilian sector.5. Outcomes Achieved as a Result of This Project and Partnership5. A. Achievement of ABET and ASCE BOK Outcomes This project arguably achieved all technical and professional student outcomes of ABEThighlighted earlier, but specifically achieved outcomes 1, 5, and 7 in depth. This project allowedstudents to identify problems with current blast modeling and apply foundational knowledge onmaterial behavior and mathematics to

reliability and maintainability of complex systems. He has been selected as both a NASA and an ONR Faculty Fellow. He regularly teaches courses in Ma- rine Engineering and in Maintained Systems. Most recently Dr. Dean was on the Headquarters Staff the American Society of Naval Engineers. He received his Ph.D. from the Department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering, and a B.S. in Nuclear Engineering Technology, from the Batten College of Engineering and Technology at Old Dominion University. Additionally, Dr. Dean received an MBA from the College of William and Mary. Prior to is academic career Dr. Dean was Director of Operations and Business Development for Clark-Smith Associates, P.C., and served as an
mission-oriented and structured, may serve tobridge the gap in transition follow-up by providing the type of atmosphere veterans arecomfortable with. Furthermore, these organizations can remain available to student-veteransthroughout their entire collegiate career, providing a lasting reintegration tool.Another advantage that could be assessed with this research, is the ability of a student-organization to reengage the student-veteran with the community. Non-veteran studentscurrently interact with the community at a rate higher than that of student-veterans, 82%,compared with 68% [1]. Technical-based clubs typically involve community outreach eventsand/or competitions, the Kent State University High-Power Rocket Club provides both, that
], specifically geared towards Veteran students. A formerly validatedsurvey, the Engineering Professional Responsibility Assessment (EPRA) [18], was selected asthe initial survey. This survey was selected because it targets students in their first year, anextremely important period concerning Veteran student retention. The EPRA is a 65-itemmeasure of social responsibility that conceptualizes social responsibility into eight distinct butrelated constructs (see Table 1). The EPRA contains Likert-type items that range from 1(Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree) which was shortened to 1-5 Likert scale for this study.Examples of items from the EPRA include, “It is important to me personally to have a career thatinvolves helping people”, and “I feel an
of this paper is to report the results of the 2018 ASEE Student Veteran Leadershiproundtable. This roundtable brought together a diverse group of veterans, engineering educators,and engineering student veteran researchers. Through a series of ideation exercises anddiscussions, the group examined the challenges student veterans traditionally face, on-goingsupport initiatives at their home institutions, and recommended actions for ASEE to pursue in theyears ahead. The topics discussed during the panel are related to previous research about thechallenges faced by veteran students beyond ETETE career paths. A series of novel initiativesare presented that may assist ASEE and university administrators more broadly in adopting afresh approach to
