For a period of about 2 and 1/2 years, I saw Cooper frequently—whether hewas attending class or studying in the classroom building before class.As the researcher, I credit my own previous experiences—as a service academy graduate, a U.S.Army veteran, and a returning veteran graduate student in mechanical engineering— for thedesire to exploring SVSM experience in engineering education, not just qualitatively, but alsorelationally.

Veteransthemselves may not perceive the engineering pathway as a good match for their military-relatedexperience, although Zoli et al. found that 43 percent of service members indicated that theirmilitary training, specialization, or job, was STEM-related.13 This same study also indicated thatmilitary personnel often did not have the requisite basic knowledge of STEM degree programs tobe able to

Socialresponsibility is a motivating factor for becoming an engineer and has been identified as asuccessful intervention strategy to improve retention of first-year engineering students. Socialresponsibility is also a core value instilled by all branches of the U.S. military while activelyserving. Therefore, the objective of this research study was to examine Veterans’ perceptions ofsocial responsibility related to engineering. For this study, a survey instrument was designed,piloted, revised, and launched for instrument validation and exploratory examination of

‘military engineering ethics.’Engineering education interfaces with the military in three key ways: (1) students being educatedto become commissioned military officers at U.S. service academies and other institutions viaROTC programs, who are majoring in engineering; (2) military veterans as ‘non-traditionalstudents’ earning engineering degrees; and (3) engineering students who will work on defenseand/or military-related technology. Key facets of these three groups are discussed below.The U.S. government’s service academies all award engineering degrees. As well, ROTCprograms are present at “over 1700 college and universities” [23]. Thus, a number of engineeringstudents are simultaneously receiving formal education for two professions. “Doctors
