In the military, they noted that if there are some problems, they do not losetheir job but instead get transferred to another. They also noted that not all veterans are the same:Navy veterans are different from Army veterans, etc., but still they have more common ground,and similar work ethic, than they do with the traditional population of students.

In reflecting on the personal impact of recent national events and how politicaldiscussions have or have not been integrated into their STEM courses, two themes emerged: 1)political awareness and 2) future-self impact. Findings revealed that first year engineeringstudents recognized the personal and social impacts current national events imposed on theirfriends, family, and society. However, students did not sense the significance of politicaldiscourse concerning the social impact and ethical practice of engineering. Our research showsthat limiting political discourse in the classroom and depoliticizing engineering spacescontributed to students dissociating the relevance of political

While discussions about the relationship between philosophy and engineering isconstantly evolving, the focus on application of science for some practical means continues to beprevalent in discussions [20]. Because the focus of engineering is not on a specific knowledgebase, but rather a utilization of scientific principles to meet changing societal needs [21],engineering disciplines continue to evolve and therefore must be consistently analyzed to betterinform curricular design.The design process is also commonly discussed in engineering literature [14], [15], and has
