In acquiring andunderstanding new topic to apply in the project, students achieved Level 5 of Lifelong Learning.Finally, by establishing rapport and working with NAVFAC EXWC, students integratedprofessional attitudes relevant to the project, achieving Level 5 in Professional Attitudes [1].5. B. Broader Impact of PBL Experience in the Army Profession The nature of critical thinking and analyzing various ways to achieve a viable solution tosolve a problem can be attained through engineering education and applied across the Armyprofession. The Army Design Methodology (ADM) is depicted in Figure 1. The ADM is aframework for solving complex problems on the battlefield in the same way
students with military aspirations and veterans.Research QuestionsThis exploratory research emerged from a larger study on social responsibility amongengineering students and alumni. The research questions that were probed are: RQ1. How does the professional connectedness of engineering students attending a military academy compare to students at other institutions? RQ2. How do engineering students with military aspirations (a) view social responsibilities related to the engineering profession and (b) perceive negative feelings from their peers related to the ethics of military service? RQ3. How do engineering students with a history of military service (a) view social responsibilities related to the engineering
formally begin a procurement process through the Letter of Request, or "LOR". The LOR is a document generated by an end user and submitted through the logistics channels. It can be either a request for the purchase of defense items or services, or it can request rough-estimate Price and Availability (P&A) data to help the government decide whether or not to pursue a purchase further. LOR's are sometimes known as requests for proposal (RFPs).b.

The multiple-choice questions were mainly focused on concepts on basics of electricity, circuits, motors, andquadcopters. From the results, we concluded that even though concepts in circuits, motors andquadcopters had shown positive trend (18 out of 23 questions), answers to electricity-relatedquestions did not show an improvement. There could be several reasons: a) Since the videoswere viewed at the participants’ discretion, they skipped the
learner actively engages in the process of sense-making and knowledgeconstruction [4]. Carefully selected content knowledge [5] and reciprocal interactions with others(i.e., instructor, peers)[6, 7] will mediate and facilitate learning. This perspective challenges thetraditional view of teaching and learning that portrays a learner as a passive individual simplyreceiving the knowledge provided by an authority figure. Experiential learning, a concept andpedagogical practice inspired by Constructivist learning theory also upholds the learner’s activerole and focuses on “learning through reflection on doing” [8]. Experiential learning isrepresented as a cycle of four stages, a) Concrete experience, b) Reflective observation of the newexperience, c

University of North Carolina University SystemAbstractThe University of North Carolina System (UNC System) includes seventeen campuses. Inresponse to an increasing interest in enrolling military service members and veterans, faculty andstaff at individual campuses and also at the state level have been in collaboration to determinethe best practices to integrate American Council on Education (ACE) credit recommendationsinto an easy to follow guide which academic advisors may use to advise military students andveterans. The difficulty in generating a standard articulation lies in the extensive variety oftraining the military provides and an equally varied set of regionally accredited universityacademic programs. The amount of credit service members
include acoustics, the dynamics of complex structures, and the use of laser Doppler vibrometry for characterization of such structures including percussion instruments, land- mines/IED, and coupled resonator arrays.Mr. Jeff Foeller, East Carolina UniversityMs. Melissa Ann Hall Melissa Hall is a graduate student in engineering. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 Supporting Veteran Students Transitioning to EngineeringAbstractAs an engineering department in a historically military friendly state, and at a noted militaryfriendly institution, we desire a broader understanding of our veteran population.

career fields for technical warrant officers in the United States Army. Warrantofficers enjoy the privileges of an officer, and according to the Army’s website, “technical warrantofficers are the Army’s mechanical experts”. Qualification training for warrant officers is generallyseveral months to a year in duration of fulltime study, but many warrant officers do not have four-yearcollege degrees.The American Council on Education (ACE), based out of Washington, D.C., reviews military trainingcourses, including Army warrant officer courses, and makes credit recommendations of equivalentcollege credits based upon training durations, content and scope. Technical warrant officer trainingincludes the types of curriculum often found in four-year
