engineering student retention is unlikely to be instrumentalfor veteran students. The limited literature on veteran engineering student retention revealedsignificantly higher attrition rates (dismissal or discontinued enrollment) overall for thispopulation and identified that the first year is the most critical period [4]. This research project seeks to investigate and determine if social responsibility is afundamental motivator that encourages many to join the military, and can be linked to veteranstudent success when incorporated in the classroom starting with first-year engineering students.The term social responsibility refers to the ways engineering can positively impact society [7]and the responsibility of engineers to evaluate the broad

While thecourse is taught specifically with engineering design in mind, the course has attracted studentsfrom varying majors which has fostered collaboration and creativity in idea generation. Thecombination of critical thinking methodology with innovation concepts has led students to notonly expand their knowledge of potential applications of engineering, but has lead severalstudents to initiate communication with faculty members regarding their ideas for researchopportunities, innovation competitions, and initiated their own projects via applying forUniversity Innovation Fellows

The analysis takes into account local soil conditions, slope, land cover and meteorology. Different types of low impact development (LID) practices (also known as green infrastructure) can be employed to help capture and retain rainfall on-site.
