cohortsAbstractThe capstone course sequence in an engineering or engineering technology program bringstogether all elements of the curriculum into a comprehensive learning experience. A team ofstudents works together, combining the topics learned during their undergraduate coursework tocomplete a substantial design project. Design courses can be uncomfortable for many studentsbecause of the open-ended nature of the requirement, leading to many questions such as “Are weon the right track? Do I have the right answer? Are we approaching this the right way?” Due totheir unique experiences, student veterans in engineering are well positioned to enable theircohorts to overcome these challenges. The military experience teaches veterans to becomeproblem-solvers

, andprofessional identity formation in a specific field of study. The reintegration of a prior militaryexperience and identity into a new, emerging professional career and civilian identity is asignificant area for further research. Our study intends to address this void in the existingliterature by investigating the role of military experience and identity in student veterans’ careerchoice in engineering and how they envision the engineering profession as an ideal pathway fortheir integration into civilian society. MethodsResearch Design The present study employed a phenomenological research design. The phenomenologicalapproach is widely used in social research in order to explore people’s experience in
