Unless I’m manufacturing some military technology which I don’t plan on it. Because I couldn’t live with myself if I manufactured guns or something like that. Kirk may think differently.

Development of Veteran Friendly, Military Technology and Instrumentation Mechanical Engineering CourseAbstractThe University of North Carolina at Charlotte developed a veteran friendly, military technologyand instrumentation course as part of their ongoing efforts to recruit and retrain members of themilitary community and to expand the military science and technology workforce. The largerproject included four interrelated initiatives (e.g., systematic veteran recruitment activities,specialized mentoring support for student veterans) and institutional data analysis on veteranrecruitment and graduation.

written by veterans; not necessarily the best paper about veteran issues. • Host veteran social/service events that also involve non-veterans. One idea that gained much support during the discussion was creating events that bring veterans and non- veterans together. Rather than planning a mixer, it was emphasized that these events be focused on community service because this provides an opportunity for these two populations to work together to achieve something purposeful. • Have an ASEE presence within service member transition programs (e.g., SEP/TAP). All service members attend a transition program prior to exiting the military. These programs are often supported by colleges and universities
