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].

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

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

. 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
