who was also a veteran with significant electrical T&ME experience was sought out. Theveteran expert was only helping with the electrical T&ME. Other responsibilities, such as labsetup or grading, were handled by a traditional teaching assistant and laboratory instructor. Theveteran lab instructor assisted in all lab sessions and provided limited outside assistance as welland was paid $1,500 for the semester. This was all made possible by a newly mandated upper-division classroom fee structure, which enabled a number of previously unfunded educationalideas to be implemented.This paper describes the results of a one-semester trial starting with our Circuit Analysis lab.This is the first lab in which traditional electrical T&ME (e.g

Topics related to professional responsibilities, ethical responsibilities, respect for diversity, and quality and continuous improvement; 4. Physical or natural science content of the curriculum appropriate to the discipline and must include laboratory experiences. 5. At least one-third of the total credit hours for the curriculum but no more than two-thirds of the total credit hours for the curriculum must be technical in nature. 6.

veterans advocate and dedicated graduate school opportunities.To support an ongoing veteran recruitment and retention program, the University of NorthCarolina at Charlotte, Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science Department developedan elective undergraduate course (ENGR 3999). This course was designed to use imagery andhands on, military based research laboratory experiences to engage veteran and non-veteranengineering undergraduate students. The class is available to all engineering students, butpredominately attended by Mechanical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering Technologystudents.Our curriculum development process was guided by the Integrative Approach for CurriculumDevelopment Framework [3]. This framework explains that

need to consider how they approach studentveterans to maximize benefits from their military backgrounds while avoiding possible pitfalls intheir professional development.Mentoring in engineeringUndergraduate students enrolled in a STEM program face a multitude of challenges includingsocial and academic integration, high workload, and curriculum difficulty [17, 18, 19]. In anattempt to support these students, universities often integrate peer mentoring programs [20]. Peermentoring programs are known to have positive effects on mentored students’ academicperformance [21], as well as retention and social integration [22]. However, graduate students,especially those in science and engineering, engage in laboratory intensive research and arelikely

The VSC was designed to provide a lounge, student computer laboratory, studyarea, and social gathering space and within the first year, the VSC recorded nearly 1000 studentvisits. The Veterans Services Center (VSC) received annual grant funding from the Marna M.Kuehne Disabled Veterans Foundation, a philanthropic foundation dedicated to supportingdisabled veterans initiatives within Wyoming, providing financial support for one (1) non-benefitted, full-time staff and annual programming budget.Since its simple beginnings, the VSC has expanded from a gathering and social place forveterans to becoming the central aspect of the Veterans Program at UW.

brought practical applications from con- sulting design and construction to the classroom that students’ have found invaluable upon graduating. Serving as Experiential Learning Option advisor for multiple students’ portfolios, Dr. Lester has success- fully evaluated proposals from past work experience to grant course credit for distance students. He has served as the Civil-Site design option evaluator for Senior Design projects each semester as part of his normal teaching responsibilities. Dr. Lester has developed new courses in Civil Engineering Technology to better distribute the student load in Fluid Mechanics and the accompanying laboratory. Dr. Lester has also taught the Professional Engineering preparation

Engineering Education, 2019 Introducing College-level Laboratory Exercises in a Pre-college Summer ProgramThere are hundreds of pre-college summer programs that take place annually atcolleges and universities in the United States. [1,2] Many are enrichment programsdeveloped to expose middle and high school students to academic and researchexperiences in targeted fields such as Engineering and Sciences. [2] All are developedto include an experience of college life at that particular institution. [3, 4, 5] The UnitedStates Federal Service Academies all have pre-college programs that focus on thestudent experience at those institutions.

. Ethnographic research was alogical fit for our study, which aimed to examine the cultural tension and confluence in femalestudents’ experiences situated in a traditionally male-dominated learning environment.Data Sources After IRB approval, the research team contacted the instructor of the course entitledMilitary Technology and Instrumentation (MTI) or Experimental Research Methods (ERM) toobtain his support for data collection. MTI/ERM was a new course developed through externalgrant support with a goal to broaden the military science and technology workforce. The courseincluded lectures and several hands-on laboratory activities designed to increase students’interest in and knowledge of military technologies and related career opportunities

research team is also working on practical uses of laser scanningand digital twin to improve performance of ship repairs.In support of the three pillars, VDSP established three separate laboratories. Establishment of aDigital Shipbuilding Lab at VMASC (Figure 6) is tailored to hands-on engagement and project-based learning of Digital Shipbuilding skills. This lab is opened to stakeholders in early 2019throughout the region and state for training, technology development and research, andoutreach efforts including conferences, workshops, recruiting/job fairs, and STEM events. InAugust of 2019, VDSP partnering with the City of Newport News and Newport News Shipyard,opened the Brooks Crossing Innovation Lab (BCiLab). This lab is a first of its kind in

This means the veteran and active duty students are bringing their families or at least interacting with their families in front of traditional students. This provides additional examples to traditional student on how to balance life with professional responsibilities.
