Several scholars found that a constructive element in military veterans’ integration intocivilian society is college enrollment.4, 5 Integration into civilian society is far from a seamlessand smooth adjustment for many veterans.5

Additionally current science standards –Next Generation of Science Standards (NGSS)1 - incorporate engineering design into thelearning objectives of science in grades K-12. However few classroom teachers have had thebenefit of exposure to engineering design before beginning their teaching career. Just like theirstudents, early exposure in the undergraduate curriculum that enriches future teachers’knowledge of engineering and technology and its relationship to the world would benefit thesecandidates.Project based learning (PBL) and the engineering design process are a natural pedagogical fit.PBL is focused on knowledge and
