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

, demonstrating that the student veterans werehaving a positive impact in the classroom. This paper presents a brief overview of a new project-based assignment in a technical writing course designed to assess multiple outcomes, itsinstitution-specific implementation, and current veteran success indicators. Data from surveysand institutionally-defined leadership characteristics are presented. Finally, by teaming studentveterans with traditional students, technical writing educators can provide opportunities forstudent veterans to demonstrate in-classroom leadership and contribute experiential insight forthe collective benefit of student veterans and their traditional student counterparts.IntroductionIndustry has recognized the need for engineers with

The computer faculty made decisions about what was important to address in the firstyear of the curriculum, and what projects to use to keep students engaged in and excited aboutthe field of computing. Since the studio model radically departs from the single instructorclassroom lecture model, multiple professors were utilized in the same freshman studio course,each bringing in their own unique areas of expertise.Along with the studio model, electronic portfolios were implemented for the assessment ofstudent learning, as a benchmark that students must pass to advance to

NI ResearchThis section presents excerpts from a Narrative Inquiry project with an SVSM undergraduateengineering student named Cooper (self-selected pseudonym). Cooper’s stories of becoming anengineer are being documented within a narrative inquiry project to understand the experiencesof “nontraditional” [71, 72] undergraduates in engineering [73, 74]. Examination of Cooper’sstories of becoming are important for the field of engineering education; they provide rare andvaluable glimpses into the knowledge, skills, and assets that returning veterans bring to theengineering profession, as well as the unique ways in which veterans experience formalengineering education. I share practical understandings gained about veteran student experiencethat
