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

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
