way to facilitate student veterans’ socialintegration and academic success is offering them a chance to link their prior military experienceand experiential knowledge to what they learn in academic courses. However, despite thesignificant number of student veterans on college campuses, very little effort has been made todevelop a specific curriculum or academic course that integrates military veterans’ priorexperiences and knowledge in higher education.The University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNCC) is a large urban public research institutionwith over 29,500 students [1], 7,400 of which are considered non-traditional or adult students.The university has shown a 21.5% growth in military (veteran, active, reserve and familymember

to develop a curriculum that achieves the goal of producing a graduate with vision andflexibility, faculty need to incorporate hands on learning, develop communication skills, andinstill a sense of creativity and innovation which the students will need throughout theirengineering careers (7). To these ends, we have developed an approach to curriculum deliverycomposed of what we call Contextual Learning Modules (CLM).Goals of the Contextual Learning Module ApproachThe goals of the CLM approach are:1) To integrate physical science, life science, and engineering in each module.2) To provide at least one "hands on" experience each day.3) To use the module itself as an implicit model of how to tackle complex problems (i.e. break them down into
