, many ‘traditional’ engineering students will enter careers where their work intersectswith military interests. Lucena describes how engineering education has consistently beeninfluenced by the defense needs of the United States since World War II [29]. Students mayactively seek military-related jobs, or more likely, will find themselves in them. A recentNational Academy of Engineering (NAE) report analyzed STEM workforce concerns of the U.S.Department of Defense (DOD), in terms of the ‘defense industrial base’ and DOD civilian andmilitary employees [30]. Many new technologies are developed with military funding orpotential military applications in mind, as acknowledged in a recent NAE report [31].Military issues in relation to engineering have

too time intensive and thus interfere with hiseducational pursuits.Research Question # 2: Why did the RANGE students choose to major in engineering?The participants described a variety of motivators for deciding to major in engineering. As withjoining the military, family was an influential factor for choice of major. Reece (AFR-ECE)said that both his father and brother were engineers; Nikolas’ (AN-ME) father, grandfather, andbrother were engineers. Chase (AFR-ME), Isaac (AFR-ME), and Taylor (AFR-AE) wereinspired by their uncles who were engineers. Donovan (AFN-IE) credits his family forstimulating his interest in engineering and “having a critical mind.”Childhood influences were an important source of inspiration. As a child, Chase loved to

any cohort of students, there are strengths and opportunities for growth. Weintended to build upon the ability of millennials to interact with information from a wide range ofsources that is available digitally and introduce them to the professional dogma of both the Armyand environmental engineering. The intent of our course is to leverage their strengths to furtherdevelop cadets’ “higher-order” thinking through the correct application of “mind models”, withinthe engineering process [9]. This higher level thinking is both doctrinal [12] and pedagogical [9]in nature. Using the doctrinal framework as a critical thinking tool combined with creativethinking and engineering design principles, we teach students to apply “practical thinking

With discussion from the affinity mapping exercise fresh in mind, a brain writingexercise was used to develop actionable ideas.Each attendee was given a brain writing 6-3-5 worksheet [30] with the following prompt: “Howcan ASEE support 1) engineering education, 2) relevant diversity research, and 3) engagement ofthis community

Part of a larger state-wide initiative, NDSU identified a specificgoal of making the programs that were developed remotely accessible and, specifically, militaryaccessible. Military members (including active duty and veterans) are seen to be excellentcybersecurity students due to their warfighting background, which can be directly leveraged toprovide the appropriate frame of mind for cybersecurity operations, whether from an offensive ordefensive perspective. This paper covers on the development of the programs and courses at thedepartmental level. A key decision that was made early in the process was to
