promoted the assistance of veterans for attainingcareers in engineering so they can participate to the Science, Technology, Engineering, andMathematics (STEM) workforce for the benefit of society [5]. Most student veterans aresupported by the Post-9/11 GI Bill for collegiate education as they work to help them transitioninto civilian careers. This is a large college student demographic in the United States receivingsubstantial educational assistance benefits from the federal government. In 2015, 790,507veterans received almost $12 billion for their education [6]. We focus on veterans enrolled inonline master’s degree engineering programs. Traditional “brick and mortar” engineeringschools are more likely to offer online master’s engineering

Education Reform in IndiaAbstractIn this Work-In-Progress, we aim to initiate a human-centered design thinkingapproach to engineering education reform at the National Institute of Technology(NIT) Raipur, India. In using a human-centered design approach, we will developmutually collaborative solutions with, rather than only for participants, whileopening up a broader space for innovative thinking, dialogue, and reflectivepractice. Today’s global, knowledge-driven economy is giving an impetus to theengineering educators to produce more and quality engineers with a mindsettoward global innovation and an international outlook. Unfortunately, mostengineering faculty are not well prepared for this educational reform. This is alsotrue in India, a

Further, a third of women reported experiencing harassment or discrimination in their current role, indicating this is a persistent issue in the engineering and technology workplace. Our analysis has identified professional stagnation, isolation, and overwork as harmful elements of workplace climate in addition to harassment and discrimination. Future work should investigate these areas and support efforts to improve workplace culture and climate.I .

The discovery highlights the significance of technology usage ininfluencing students' experiences and perception [19]. The findings also revealed subtledifferences in the perception of the influence of ECP on learning across male and femalestudents, with male students exhibiting somewhat higher perception ratings across all aspects incomparison to their
