In this paper, we examine whatfactors have a significant impact in attracting student veterans to online engineering programs.This is important since student veterans and engineering programs mutually benefit from eachother’s engagement. Online engineering programs can be particularly helpful for veterans withpost-9/11 GI Bill collegiate education benefits as they transition from military to civilianemployment. Now most top

She has also published articles that explore how principles of lean manufacturing facilitate energy-efficiency in the commercial building industry. Kristen strives to bring research experience into the classroom, and her education research focuses on integrating curriculums across courses, institutions, and research areas. Prior to joining ASU, Kristen was at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) as a Postdoctoral Fellow (2009-11) and then a Scientific Engineering Associate (2011-2012) in the Building Technologies and Urban Systems Department. She worked in the Commercial Buildings group, where her responsibilities included managing
