the department/school culture.The School of Engineering’s six year strategic plan (LEAD 2018) includes objectives inretention and graduation numbers. The team established the following goals (which were asubset from the institution’s strategic plan) that established the foundation for creating newinitiatives to address the most pressing issues: 1) enhance student retention, 2) expandengineering student enrollment, 3) enhance the non-traditional student experience bytransforming the delivery of student services, 4) expand veteran, reservists, and active dutyenrollments, 5) expand diversity, and 6) recruit and retain a diverse faculty and staff. Armed withthe new strategic plan, the leadership team began developing new programs and setting

local high school student who was interested in learning more about both electronicsand military applications.The ultimate goal of the Jammer Project is to create a functional set of equipment that includesboth a mock RCIED and jammer. They are planned to be used for demo purposes at high schoolrecruiting activities.This paper covers the first two phases of the Jammer Project: creating a mock RCIED and thecircuit to control the jammer. It begins with a short description of the course in which the lab istaught, how the link to high school students came about, plus some background information onmilitary applications and what the military terms “electronic warfare”. Then it describes thedesign and construction of both devices, followed by the

An important aspect of this course is helpingstudents set a career goal and develop a plan to prepare for the career. Through completion of acareer plan paper and oral presentation, students develop a detailed plan of how to pursue aspecific job, obtain the education required for the position, and research the job prospects theycan expect upon graduation. The sharing of detailed career plans with fellow students allowsplans to be strengthened through the peer review process.Table 1. Course topics and assignments. Topic Area Number of

exploited in the design and construction of authentic problem-based projects related to understand. Demonstrations and Evaluations: Under this focus area, performers were asked to develop a demonstration and test plan that allows for the evaluation of the methods, tools and materials being developed in Focus Areas 1, 2, and 3. The demonstrations were to be carried out at a defense training facility and/or a civilian training facility (e.g., vocational technical school) and/or a non-traditional learning environment (e.g., a Makerspace).CurriculumThe curriculum is divided into two main sections: 1) electromechanical systems-specific moduleswhich taught core concepts, and 2) quadcopter kit-specific modules which taught how to use

This process, shownin Figure 2, has been reemployed in the development of CAPTIVATE which has greatlydecreased the overall startup time for initial game planning and development. By focusing onplayer, instructional design, and game design characteristics at each stage of the overalldevelopment process, the final product is sure to meet the goals of all three.

Theory Perspectives and Veteran Student Barriers/ProblemsSTUDY CHARACTERISTICS: MENTORS & STUDENTSThe authors employed a targeted marketing plan in the Fall 2016 semester to recruit veteranmentors and students for the mentorship program. The Registrar identified 78 veterans serving onthe faculty and staff. The authors approached 10 individuals who were most closely associatedwith CEIT or STEM programs. All 10 volunteered to participate in the mentorship program.In a similar fashion, contact information for all students using GI Bill benefits was made availableto the authors. Email flyers describing the program were sent to each student since they were notcategorized by the type of GI Bill benefit (e.g. Active Duty, Veteran, Dependent, etc
