From Battlefield to Classroom: Designing Pathways to Engineering for American GIs

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏和再投资法案》(Public Law 111-5)资助的。授予锡拉丘兹大学的这一工程教育奖项将开发一种创新模式，吸引退伍军人学习工程学，预测有多少人可能学习工程学，并根据他们的需求定制学位课程。结果将在网上、技术会议上公布，并在专业期刊上发表，开发的工具将通过项目网站提供。该项目预计将帮助退伍军人过渡到平民生活，并增加完成工程学位并准备填补工程工作或开始新的高科技企业的学生人数。

This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5) This engineering education award to the Syracuse University will develop an innovative model of attracting veterans to engineering study, predicting how many will be likely to study engineering and customizing the degree program to their needs. The results will be presented on the web, at technical conferences and published in professional journals, and the tools developed will be available through the projects website. The project is expected to assist veterans' transition to civilian life and to enhance the number of students who complete engineering degrees and are ready to fill engineering jobs or start new high tech businesses.
