grant project targeted military veterans in an attempt to increasethe enrollment and number of advanced degree recipients in science, technology, engineering,and mathematics (STEM) while facilitating non-veteran students’ exposure to and interest inmilitary technology applications and related career opportunities. One of the major componentsin the grant project was a veteran-specific-mentoring program implemented in MechanicalEngineering graduate programs. Based on the first year’s assessment data, we examined studentveterans’ scholarly and professional development in the engineering graduate program to assessthe quality and impact of the veteran-specific mentoring program and mentoring relationshipsafforded through the new initiative.

This transition is a criticaltime as students face several personal and academic challenges [1] or most, college means a newlifestyle and level of independence [1]. Pre-college academic activities are positively correlatedwith a student’s persistence and graduation [2] because these activities can support thedevelopment of a student’s sense

This methods development is exemplified using data for ourongoing research, in which we are working to analyze time-resolved engineering writing datarecorded through screen capture technology. The process of developing methods of interraterreliability for our context can also be applied to other researchers who seek to analyze non-traditional data, such as those collected during eye-tracking, screen capture, or observationalstudies.Introduction This research paper presents two novel image-based methods for calculating
graphical, which effectively helps thestudents focus on the programming design by mere simple drag and drop programmingblocks. This enhances the understanding of programming logic, as an introductoryoverview to first- time programmers rather than asking them to spend hours and days tolearn, debug the various syntaxes in a freshmen level programming course, as in otherhigher–level text based programming courses that educators use to teach at thefreshmen/sophomore level! This may be one of the reason why educators see high student drop-out rates inSTEM courses: students get afraid of enrolling in higher level technology basedprogramming courses, causing them to be unable to complete four year engineering orcomputer science programs [8].

Inthe past 2 decades, the information technology (IT) industry has had a paradigm changing impacton the engineering careers in India. Although, the engineering education system in India hasaccommodated an unprecedented diversity in its disciplines, the careers sought by graduateshave largely revolved around IT [8]. In an effort to find a high paying job, budding engineershave failed to seek fulfilling careers, enrich their livelihoods and contribute towards the nation.For the last three summers (2015, 2016, 2017), the author has been visiting academic institutionsacross India to conduct courses, workshops, and
