training. One specific idea about how this could be accomplished is the development of a “roadmap” from military service to an engineering degree that ASEE could publish and make available through their website, TAP, and VRCs. • Develop academic resources for veterans to prepare prior to arrival on campus (math, chemistry, physics, intro to engineering, etc.). Much discussion centered around ASEE taking an active role in preparing veteran students for a successful transition to academia. Because many veterans have not taken traditional academic courses during their military service, reviewing foundational topics prior to beginning an undergraduate education may improve their chances for success.

What is surprising, however, is when he madethe observation: in 1918, only about 50 years after engineering was established as part of thehigher education system. He made the statement in the preface to the earliest comprehensivereport on engineering education in America, A Study of Engineering Education: Prepared forthe Joint Committee on Engineering Education of the National Engineering Societies (1918)[Seely, 1999; Cheville, 2014; Akera, 2017].

For this reason, we use the term academic probation to interchangeably describe bothacademic probation and warning.Because academic probation played a key role in the retention process within one engineeringprogram, we wanted to expand our collective understanding on the rates in which engineeringprograms put engineering students on academic probation and subsequently, academicsuspension. Building off previous research [1], [2], we also wanted to know whether Blackstudents were overrepresented on academic probation within the major. The following
