transition assistance programs and improve university efforts toensure that student veterans experience a successful transition from their military career to highereducation and engineering studies.IntroductionMilitary veterans are becoming a more visible presence on college campuses across the U.S.,with an estimated 5 million members of the armed services likely to enroll in universities by2020.1 Between 2009-2016, the U.S. Veterans Administration had paid $65.2 billion ineducational benefits to more than 1.6 million veterans and their family members.2 Thisinvestment represents a belief in the deep well of human and social capital that is embedded instudent veterans’ military experiences and in their potential for success.As the student veteran

Most recently, it has beenrated as one of the top 25 engineering programs, by US News and World Report for Universitiesthat offer a master’s degree as the highest degree. It is also ranked the number one University inthe south for veteran students. Adapting to a growing student enrollment within any college isdifficult, particularly in a financially constrained environment and competing against colleges/universities that receive more funding and a progressive (versus traditional military) campusclimate.

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

identity, even if the women did not say that gender,per se, was salient.Our initial results offer insights into the unique experiences of women who served in the militaryand who then chose to advance their careers and education in engineering. Policies and programsfor WSVEs should account for previous military experience related to engineering, the similarmale-dominated cultures both the military and engineering fields possess, and the importance offamily- and relationship-oriented responsibilities to WSVEs.IntroductionSince Congress adopted an all-volunteer force in the late 1970’s, there has been a steady increasein the number of women serving in the United States (US) military. Active duty women currentlycomprise approximately 15% of the

policy describe compelling reasons why new science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education pathways, able to supportachievement among the nation’s nontraditional and underrepresented minority students, areneeded. Specifically, policy recommendations emphasize that increased enrollment and retentionof student veterans in STEM degree programs is critical to our nation’s capability to reachrequired levels of future STEM workers [1]. Moreover, since many SVSM are women and/orunderrepresented minorities, recruitment and retention of SVSM along STEM career pathways isvital for diversifying, as well as strengthening, the nation’s STEM workforce [2-4]. As a group,student veterans and service members (SVSM) are considered well-suited

The Navy ROTC classifiesacademic majors into desirability, with the most desirable Tier 1 majors including aerospace,chemical, electrical, mechanical, naval, nuclear, ocean, and systems engineering; Tier 2 majorsinclude civil, computer, and biomedical engineering [25]. There are also specific military postsavailable to civil engineers via the Navy Seabees, Navy Civil Engineering Corps, and ArmyCorps of Engineers. At one large, public institution among about 5000 undergraduate studentsenrolled in the College of Engineering, about 2% were participating in ROTC [unpublisheddata]. While these students will generally begin their careers in the military, many eventuallycomplete their service and enter engineering jobs

weconceived of the studio courses, the intended aims were: • For faculty to help students connect the dots between the various content courses that students take during the semester and help them see how their learning fits into a broader perspective. The hope was that these connections between courses and their relation to the students’ career fields would result in a transformative learning experience [9]. • For computer students to form a cohort of peer learners early in their academic career. Many studies have shown that students who belong to a community of learners tend to be more engaged and are more likely to be successful in the program [10], [11]. Because military veteran students

Active duty military members shareall of these characteristics; however, they may also be connecting from a different time zone oreven a battlefield or base in hostile territory. With 840,000 military enrolments and $445 millionin expenditures (in 2006), there is significant interest, by universities, in targeting a militarystudent base [2]. To support these students Minnis says that military cultural training, outreachand services related to careers, counseling, health, disabilities, financial aid and businessconcerns are needed [3]. Many veteran friendly lists and accreditations consider these services,but fail to consider whether a

The EPRA is a 65-itemmeasure of social responsibility that conceptualizes social responsibility into eight distinct butrelated constructs (see Table 1).

of this paper is to report the results of the 2018 ASEE Student Veteran Leadershiproundtable. This roundtable brought together a diverse group of veterans, engineering educators,and engineering student veteran researchers. Through a series of ideation exercises anddiscussions, the group examined the challenges student veterans traditionally face, on-goingsupport initiatives at their home institutions, and recommended actions for ASEE to pursue in theyears ahead. The topics discussed during the panel are related to previous research about thechallenges faced by veteran students beyond ETETE career paths. A series of novel initiativesare presented that may assist ASEE and university administrators more broadly in adopting afresh approach to
