Teaching using demonstration is a significant part of thepopular and proven ExCEEd teaching model. The combination of a student independent study, aclassroom demonstration and an addition to the decor of the university is hitting a trifecta. Thepresented project helped a civil engineering student to learn multiple aspects of civil engineeringusing a hands-on project. In addition, the result of the project is used in multiple civilengineering courses.Acknowledgement:We would like to thank Alumnus, Mr. John S. McGrath
mathematicalmodeling and developing specific content knowledge, and how engineering can provide avaluable context for the application of mathematical modeling.Introduction Mathematical modeling is a critical component of math, science, and engineeringeducation [1]–[7]. Both the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) and theNext Generation Science Standards (NGSS) emphasize the importance of mathematicalmodeling [1]. Mathematical modeling in the classroom helps to develop the critical thinking andmath skills required for engineering [2]. It allows students to “revise their preconceptions and…understand the underlying principle[s] of mathematics” [8] and integrate topics similar toprofessionals in the field [1]. Students are expected to

the DCIThe idea for a DCI began at a Mini-Conference on Undergraduate Education in Dynamics,Vibrations, and Strength of Materials that occurred in September 2002 [1]. The Force ConceptInventory (FCI) had been around since the early 1990’s and was recognized as beingsuccessful in spurring innovation in physics education [2]. At this meeting, participants agreedthat a Dynamics Concept Inventory could potentially provide the same benefits for dynamicsinstruction. A DCI team was formed and first met at the Concept Inventory Workshop at the2002 Frontiers in Education Conference in Boston (November 2002). The NSF-fundedFoundation Coalition was a key driver behind the development of the DCI and other conceptinventories.The DCI was developed using a

This initial conclusion drives the point thatveterans are an asset in the classroom and that leveraging their professionalism, leadership skills,and adaptability can have a positive influence on non-veteran student academics. Future work willfollow additional veterans to increase the study’s sample size and to enhance the ability to performa statistical analysis on the results. Additionally, the authors are looking to expand the research toinclude findings from other institutions to study the broader impacts of veteran presence in theclassroom.References[1] M. Kirchner, L.
