solution process is more important than the finalproduct.”Barrows4, doing research in the medical education field in the 1980’s, stated that problem-basedlearning can have many different meanings, depending on the skills of the teacher and theeducational learning objectives being pursued. In the medical field, existing cases taken from themedical research literature are an important part of the educational process. Barrows saw that ataxonomy was needed to help differentiate the many types of case-based learning processespossible. The taxonomy ranges from cases explained mostly via lecture, through looking at acase from beginning to end, applying lessons learned, and starting back at the beginning of thecase again, to see is a different approach to

The purpose of this paper is to examine the initiatives and challenges discussed by a diversepanel of military and veteran-related students, faculty, and researchers during the 2016 ASEE annualconference. The topics discussed during the panel are related to previous research regarding thechallenges faced by veteran students beyond ETETE career paths to contrast similarities anddifferences between veteran ETETE students and their peers in other undergraduate programs.Results from this panel suggest that veteran students still struggle in navigating the transition frommilitary to academic life and that a lack of constructive credit for military training and experiencemay exacerbate these challenges.
