was designed as part of a funded project tooffer a classroom experience that bridges the standard mechanical engineering or engineeringtechnology theoretical curriculum with the military experiences of the veterans so that theydevelop interest in engineering research and pursue an advanced degree in graduate programs.The second goal is to expose non-veteran engineering undergraduate students to various militarytechnologies and their defense applications and increase their knowledge and interest in defenseindustry employment. Based on these two goals, the class topics were broken down into twoareas: Military Technology Applications and Research Tools. The course was developed andoffered as a technical elective for all engineering undergraduate
