Cooper’s stories of becoming anengineer are being documented within a narrative inquiry project to understand the experiencesof “nontraditional” [71, 72] undergraduates in engineering [73, 74]. Examination of Cooper’sstories of becoming are important for the field of engineering education; they provide rare andvaluable glimpses into the knowledge, skills, and assets that returning veterans bring to theengineering profession, as well as the unique ways in which veterans experience formalengineering education.
