requirements persist, as all services face the challenges posed by explosives safety.Beginning in the fall of 2019, researchers at the NAVFAC EXWC in Port Hueneme, CA andfaculty at USMA began partnering in search of mutually beneficial research and educationopportunities. This paper presents a unique research project and capstone experience at theundergraduate level that will benefit DoD research, active-duty service members, andundergraduate civil engineering students from June 2020 to May 2021. Three civil engineeringstudents embarked on a project-based study to support NAVFAC EXWC in their role as subjectmatter experts in protective construction for explosives safety for multiple military construction(MILCON) projects on Navy installations

tend to seek out and associate with other veterans, creating cohorts of students with broader demographics is of particular benefit for those students transitioning from military service [12]. • For computer students to be introduced to team building and project-management skills early in their academic careers. One struggle students have had in the capstone course was an inability to handle large, team-based projects, despite having the technical knowledge to solve the problem. The hope was that, with an earlier introduction to these skills, and connecting earlier on with students who possess leadership skills like those coming from the military, students would be more comfortable in the

canoe competition requires student to work in the evenings and weekends. This means the veteran and active duty students are bringing their families or at least interacting with their families in front of traditional students. This provides additional examples to traditional student on how to balance life with professional responsibilities. Figure 5: Active Duty Student working on the Concrete Canoe StandSenior Capstone Projects (ELEC)The electrical and computer engineering senior design project is a mandatory two semestersequence of lecture and laboratory work culminating in a working prototype. These designprojects can cause anxiety and apprehension for students because of the numerous decisions andopen

technology, mechanical engineering technology, and flighttechnology. Among these were three former active-duty or national guard veterans.The literature already documents the attributes of student veterans in terms of their potentialwithin the engineering community. This paper describes the design competition and documentsthe actions of the team through the student design process. It then describes the veterans’ rolesand integration in the project, specifically how their veteran experiences directly influenced theteam’s success. Finally, it describes these veterans’ impact on model rocketry at the institutionas a whole and their legacy in subsequent competition teams.IntroductionUniversities have experienced significant growth of student-veteran

project- based learning objectives that introduce 3D modeling anddigital design. A 9-12th grade curriculum has been developed and pilot recently starting inSeptember 2019. Currently there are 45 students enrolled and this is expected to grow to 85 bynext fall as the greater maritime career curriculum is expanded. This course work project basedand is centered on 3D modeling and use of digital tools in the marine environment. In addition,digital shipbuilding curriculum fundamentals have been integrated into many existing coursesfrom K-16. Some of this integration includes capstone projects in high school level physicscourses, 8-12th grade drafting and technology elective courses, shipyard and industry pre-hireprograms, Apprentice School technology

introduce students to local engineers who areinterested in sharing their experience and providing advice to the students. Some mentors specifyveterans, especially if they are veterans themselves. Some will use the event to recruit interns fortheir temporary needs in their organizations.Capstone Leadership. One of the easily observed and experienced aspects of veteran studentswithin the classroom is their performance within these high stress teams both as members andleaders. The Citadel has documented previously the anecdotal impact of the veterans withincapstone teams [10], but last year the faculty began to assess leadership of each team member,especially the assigned leader during each grading period, of the capstone team as part of theleadership

NI ResearchThis section presents excerpts from a Narrative Inquiry project with an SVSM undergraduateengineering student named Cooper (self-selected pseudonym). Cooper’s stories of becoming anengineer are being documented within a narrative inquiry project to understand the experiencesof “nontraditional” [71, 72] undergraduates in engineering [73, 74]. Examination of Cooper’sstories of becoming are important for the field of engineering education; they provide rare andvaluable glimpses into the knowledge, skills, and assets that returning veterans bring to theengineering profession, as well as the unique ways in which veterans experience formalengineering education. I share practical understandings gained about veteran student experiencethat
