‘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.

promoted the assistance of veterans for attainingcareers in engineering so they can participate to the Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) workforce for the benefit of society [5]. 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.

grant project targeted military veterans in an attempt to increasethe enrollment and number of advanced degree recipients in science, technology, engineering,and mathematics (STEM) while facilitating non-veteran students’ exposure to and interest inmilitary technology applications and related career opportunities. One of the major componentsin the grant project was a veteran-specific-mentoring program implemented in MechanicalEngineering graduate programs. Based on the first year’s assessment data, we examined studentveterans’ scholarly and professional development in the engineering graduate program to assessthe quality and impact of the veteran-specific mentoring program and mentoring relationshipsafforded through the new initiative.
