, and veteran undergraduates in engineering. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 The Methodological Promise of ‘Narrative Inquiry’ for Exploring Student Veteran and Service Member Experience as ‘People in Relation’AbstractStudent veterans and service members (SVSM) represent a significant, yet vastly underutilized,human resource for strengthening and diversifying the nation’s science, technology, engineering,and mathematics (STEM) workforce. It is estimated that, by the year 2020, over 5 million post9/11 service members will have transitioned out of the U. S. Armed Forces. Yet, despiteadvanced technical skills and training and access to unprecedented levels of educational benefits,today’s

the knowledge and skills that student veterans bring to higher education and toengineering education.23Following Minnis and Wang’s research on military veterans’ career decisions17 and Musgrove’sinvestigation of career planning of military veterans enrolled in college,24 our study draws onSampson et al.’s Cognitive Information Processing (CIP) approach to career intentions anddecision making.25 This theoretical framework has been used to better understand veterans’transitions into the workforce.20 Our student interviews highlight how two elements of thisapproach, Developing Self-Knowledge and Building Occupational Knowledge, may apply toSVE’s decision to enter the engineering education pathway. As a foundational step, developingself-knowledge

was 1.54% higher than the increases in non-veteran student grades in theMECH 351 section that contained no veteran students. This initial conclusion drives the point thatveterans are an asset in the classroom and that leveraging their professionalism, leadership skills,and adaptability can have a positive influence on non-veteran student academics. Future work willfollow additional veterans to increase the study’s sample size and to enhance the ability to performa statistical analysis on the results. Additionally, the authors are looking to expand the research toinclude findings from other institutions to study the broader impacts of veteran presence in theclassroom.References[1] M. Kirchner, L.
