current mechanical engineering class where the topic is firstintroduced to the students and the military significance. It is important to note that the militarysignificance is not a direct usage of the technology (we do not repair an aircraft or jam a radio),but only examples of engineering topics in military applications. Since the class is required to bean open enrollment class for any engineering student, topics must be general and non-classified inthe event non-us citizens are enrolled. The one exception was that some of the guest lectures wererestricted to U.S. citizens due to content. Because of these restrictions, attendance is notmandatory for these specific lectures.

A contractor for theDepartment of Defense, ACE oversees academic evaluation of military courses. ACE recruitsuniversity faculty members from across the country to evaluate military training and makeacademic credit recommendations. These evaluators are tasked with matching the content ofmilitary courses to the content of civilian university courses taught within their own disciplines.Military training needs and curricula have changed over the past three decades as a result ofshifting budgets, technological advancements, and evolving military priorities [1][2].

2013, slightly more than 18,000 student veterans used theirPost 9/11 GI Bill benefits to earn an engineering or engineer-related degree [25]. Lim andcolleagues [26] revealed that “student veterans saw engineering as a bridge that connected theirprior military work and their post-military professional aspirations” (p. 10). As such, engineeringis a “successful transition pathway” into higher education and beyond [26, p. 13]. The USgovernment has recognized the potential for student veterans to contribute to engineering laborforce, introducing legislation to encourage veterans to major in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields [27].Many departments of engineering recognize the assets that SVEs’ bring to their engineeringstudies

identity, even if the women did not say that gender,per se, was salient.Our initial results offer insights into the unique experiences of women who served in the militaryand who then chose to advance their careers and education in engineering. Policies and programsfor WSVEs should account for previous military experience related to engineering, the similarmale-dominated cultures both the military and engineering fields possess, and the importance offamily- and relationship-oriented responsibilities to WSVEs.IntroductionSince Congress adopted an all-volunteer force in the late 1970’s, there has been a steady increasein the number of women serving in the United States (US) military.

Schools should focus on the richinteractions that a university environment provides, such as maker spaces, research and teachinglabs, engineering competition teams, etc. It’s important for universities to incorporate, whereappropriate, rapidly emerging technology.ConclusionsIn conclusion, MOOCs are a resource that allows the presentation of learning material to largenumbers of individuals.
