Environmental Engineering Technologies. As such, the capstonecourse, is designed to be robust and challenges students to link concepts from the first twocourses focusing on environmental science and environmental engineering technologies, to solveproblems that are open-ended and contextually-based in the developing world. Students areexpected to integrate concepts from core curriculum courses, their life experiences, and theexperiences and training from the military program. A large portion of the course is dedicated tothe students developing concrete answers to problems by applying science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills. However, the semester long design project is arealistic, open-ended problem representative of a humanitarian

According to ASCE [4], with the introduction of powerful computer technology and thetrend toward increasing specialization, civil engineers’ roles often limit their leadershipopportunities. Civil engineers will have to command the multidisciplinary, multi-cultural, team-building, and leadership aspects of their work in order to lead and execute complex projects thatinvolve many and varied stakeholders and meaningful collaboration.Even with evidence cited in the vision papers from the NAE and specific disciplines, there stillexists a paucity of opportunities for teaching and developing professional skills, includingleadership, to

relevant mentoring, and positive interactions withadvisors, instructors, and other non-veteran peers [3, 4].It is important to note that student veterans’ civilian transition through higher education requiresnot only some behavioral adaptations but also a deeper level of social integration and identityreconfiguration [6, 7]. While adapting to the social norms and cultural expectations of highereducation student veterans inevitably go through an exploratory, often trying period to enact anddevelop a new cultural identity in civilian society [8]. It is commonly believed that studentveterans successfully complete this identity transition over the first few years in higher educationand their military identity have little impact on their academic

Briefly, the workshop is dividedinto six modules, each with an associated hands-on activity. Table 1 shows the schedule for thetwo-day workshop with the topics covered and the hands-on activity for each module. The mainequipment used during the workshop includes: i) a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer(InventorCloud, Youngstown, OH), which was developed for the MENTOR2 program,sponsored by DARPA [9], and ii) a 3D scanner sensor for mobile

way to facilitate student veterans’ socialintegration and academic success is offering them a chance to link their prior military experienceand experiential knowledge to what they learn in academic courses. However, despite thesignificant number of student veterans on college campuses, very little effort has been made todevelop a specific curriculum or academic course that integrates military veterans’ priorexperiences and knowledge in higher education.The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) is a large urban public research institutionwith over 29,500 students [1], 7,400 of which are considered non-traditional or adult students.The university has shown a 21.5% growth in military (veteran, active, reserve and familymember

[1] Anecdotally, it is easy to see that veteran presence in theclassroom positively effects the performance of the other students in the course, given theirinherent team-oriented mentality. This work-in-progress study focuses on an attempting toquantify this positive effect of veteran students on the academic performance of their non-veterancounterparts. Initial results revealed that veteran students do have a positive, quantitative impacton the grades of the non-veteran students.The integration of veteran students into the day-program of mechanical engineering at The Citadeloffered an interesting

depth of conversation regardingmentoring within the panel session. Within the specific areas of math and science skills andcollege credit, continued emphasis within the military service and higher education may helpalleviate these challenges through advising SVSMs early and often in the transition towardhigher education. The unique firehose approach to engineering education for SVSMs is an area worthy offurther inquiry. The SVSM attributes of self-confidence, discipline, and strong work ethic maybe under-appreciated or misaligned with current (traditional) higher education curriculum andpractices. Faculty and administrator may consider intensive summer ‘boot camp’ programs.These programs could provide SVSMs with the additional educational

inacademia was a concern that was brought up by multiple participants. More specifically, theparticipants noted that there are inconsistencies in what credits transfer from military experienceinto an engineering curriculum. A couple of the assets that were brought up during the sessionincluded, “vet populations are diverse and understand diversity,” and that student veterans are“very task-oriented compared to peers.”Funding. Another concern for SVEs surrounds funding. Some of the participants brought up the“lack of transparent alternate funding,” and “only 36 months of funding (initially)”. Oneparticipant brought up “GI Bill Logistics” as a barrier to academic success for SVEs. Thiscomment sits in juxtaposition with the comments noting VA
